As we gather to celebrate the life and legacy of Pastor Jim, we are reminded of the profound impact he had on all who knew him. Like the faithful figures in Hebrews 11, Pastor Jim exemplified unwavering faith, guiding and inspiring us through life's trials and triumphs.

We are privileged to join your family in celebrating the life of such a great man of stature with a God sized heart. He poured into our family consistently until a new job moved us further away from the building of the Rock. But that didn’t stop us, we continued to drink periodically from the services online. Our hearts continue to be with the Rock. We will continue to pray for God’s manifestation in that house and in the body of Christ at large. The Celebration of Pastor Jim’s life was a beautiful testament of the goodness of God. We love you all.
My husband and I got saved during one of Pastor Jim's alter calls 16yrs ago and we have attended the Rock ever since. Thank you Cobrae and Roth family for speaking the uncompromised word of God, for your transparency, integrity, humility and relatability. Such an amazing legacy Pastor Jim has left. He will be greatly missed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers thank you for allowing us to be a part of this amazing celebration of life of Pastor Jim ❤️
My mom and I were invited to The Rock in the Teal building. It was the first place I felt the presence of God. I'm so thankful to continue to experience God's presence here.
1990 walked into church single mom of 2 TIRED pastor Jim and Deborah preaching changed my life. I rode on the burgundy bus. My kids grew up in the church this strong man and women showed me to love GOD with all my heart I still do until this day I have relationship with my GOD
My husband and I had an opportunity to attend The Rock Bible college. Pastor Cobrae taught us a course called cardiology 101. This lesson transformed our lives completely. We were inspired by his love and honor for God. After completing Bible college, a calling for the ministry was birthed. We relocated to Las Vegas to spread the love of Christ. He will be missed.❤️
Pastor Jim was my first pastor. I had never been born again until I came to the rock Christian church in Loma Linda. I looked up to him as a father. He was so loving and now I Pastor a church in Colorado with my husband, (whom I met & married there at The Rock) and I would never be here without him and Pastor Debbie preaching the word of God and without Pastor Jim, exposing his vulnerable heart! His heart of love for the poor and the lost, Thank you, Pastor Jim for your life poured out.
I have been a member at the Rock since 96/97. I felt the love of this church from the parking lot to my seat. Once I heard Pastor Jim speak I was sure I was at the right church for me. I have watched the children grow up and become leaders of the church. That speaks to the awesome job Pastor Jim and Deb did with their family and the Rock Church family is amazing. Me and my children have grown here, too. I love you all Cobrae Family. God bless you and keep you in his peace 🙏🏽

I remember walking with him from the front office to the main sanctuary at the old church building.
