The Pastor

Pastor Frank Jacobs was born one of ten children to the late Pastor Lewis I. Jacobs and Mother Gladene Jacobs-Garland. God blessed him to be the first in his family to attend college by allowing him to dazzle college football scouts who were recruiting another member of his high school football team. Pastor Jacobs received a full four-year scholarship to James Madison University where he met his wife, Kimberly, and later received his Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Sociology. He also holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Southeastern University with a focus on Business Management.

He is currently an Area Vice President for a leader in the pharmaceutical industry. While he continues his corporate career, he is resolute that his calling is in ministry.

Known for his love of the scriptures and his ability to explain the Word so that even a child can understand, Pastor Jacobs ensures that The Rock community is given opportunities to develop the body, mind and spirit. One of his mottos is: “If we knew better, we would do better!” Pastor Jacobs shares bible-based practical information that can be applied to your everyday life. 

Pastor Jacobs was licensed as a minister in 1996 in the Church of God in Christ.  In 1999, Pastor Jacobs was appointed and installed as Pastor of the church where his father was Pastor before he was called to Glory. He continued to Pastor in Western Pennsylvania for 5 years until he heard God's voice guiding him to move to Charlotte, NC.

Pastor Jacobs founded The Rock Worship Center in November 2004. The Lord spoke to him about his "Promised Land" and relocated him to Charlotte, NC from the Pittsburgh, PA area. Following the leading of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Jacobs purchased a building located in West Charlotte formerly known as Westover Hills Presbyterian Church.

Along with his Pastoral duties and his pharmaceutical career, he and his wife are founders of Young Inspiration, a 501 c-3 non-profit organization that impacts the lives of the underserved urban youth in Uniontown, PA. 

He and his wife, Kimberly, have four sons Frankie, Jr., Ivan, Gabriel and Jeremiah and 1 daughter Jayla. They reside in Charlotte, NC.
