The Story
Dr. Michael Maiden
This union is the result of God’s plan involving mutual relationship Dr. Michael Maiden, Sr. Pastor, Church For The Nations in Phoenix, AZ.
Dr. Maiden’s relationship with Pastors Matthews & DiMartino became the bridge into courtship, leading to this celebrated union. The unique spiritual and relational qualities of both Freedom Center and Church On The Rock will blend into “one family” and we expect to be a powerful force for the Kingdom Of God, in the Manasota region.
Two Become One
Jesse & Heather DiMartino, Campus Pastors: Church on the Rock Sarasota
Church On The Rock has a north campus located in Palmetto, FL and a south campus in Sarasota, FL.
Pastors Jesse & Heather DiMartino will be Campus Pastors, leading the Sarasota Church family and bringing with them the members of Freedom Center, the congregation they have led for the past 4 and a half years in Sarasota.
Senior Pastors, Church on the Rock Palmetto & Sarasota

We are experiencing a great change and believe many lives will impacted and restored through this “amalgamation!” God is leading us on a journey that shifts the Freedom Center and Pastors Jesse & Heather into a new location, pastoring a blended body, which we are excited about. The church name and identity will remain, Church On The Rock. We have an inclusive approach, everyone is welcome and has a place to love God together. This truly in a “new day” with a harvest opportunity in front of us! We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, November 1st.
