WHAT IS ROCK THE BLOCK?

To kick off our Fall semester, we are once again throwing the greatest block party in the history of youth ministry! We’ll bring in a high-energy Christian artist and some super cool Christian role models, we’ll play wild, epic, and super-fun games, and we’ll kick-off our school year ministries with a Jesus-centered message. It is definitely not the party that anyone will want to miss out on! RTB 2019 is going down on September 8th from 5-9 pm - BE THERE!

Doors open at 5:00 pm and the event ends at 9:30 pm.

LOADS OF FUN!

Expect the fun to be colorful, wet, and full of energy! In previous years, we have played things like Giant Angry Birds, Kiddie Pool Kickball, Slip 'N Slide Relays, and Color Wars. And we have some fun surprises that we can't wait to bring out and enjoy with you this year!

Featuring Zay Marr

Zay Marr aka Chosen Boy aka Isaiah Marr is a 22 year old Motivational Rap/Soul Rap artist from Grand Rapids, MI.

At age 14, Zay was fascinated at how mainstream rappers lived and desired to make music like his favorite artists which were Lil Wayne, Kanye, Eminem, and Drake. Quickly, music fell to the back burner as girls and drugs became his focus. At age 16, Zay reached his rock bottom. Feeling completely purposeless he relied on God and music to re-energized his spirit to push through adversity. This was when Marr took rapping serious and started inspiring others.

Isaiah has released 2 mixtapes as an artist: 'Clean Life Over Fiend Life' in 2013, and 'The Process' in 2015. He also released several singles on his Soundcloud page and multiple music videos on YouTube.

The motivational rapper moved from Saginaw to Grand Rapids, MI in 2015 to pursue music and a Communications degree at Grand Valley State University. His brand 'Chosen' was created in 2016. 'Chosen' is the message that we're all created with purpose and are called to use our unique gifts and talents to impact lives.
