Eb & Heather Penha
Heather grew up in The Rock Church under the leadership of Apostle David Chisholm in Jackson, Ohio, where she developed a deep love for God’s presence and a heart for worship. After attending Bible college, Eb stepped into full-time ministry, serving as a youth pastor alongside Heather, who faithfully led worship for the church. Together, they have invested over two decades into discipling and leading God’s people in worship.
For the past twelve years, Eb and Heather have led The Rock Church Columbus with a passion to see true discipleship, freedom, and a genuine move of God — not only within the church walls, but in every corner of the city. Married for over twenty years, they continue carrying a vision to see Jesus transform lives and advance His Kingdom throughout Columbus and beyond.
The Rock Church Columbus began in August of 2013 out of prayer, fasting, and a deep passion carried by Apostle David Chisolm and our Lead Pastors Eb and Heather Penha to see Jesus and His Spirit move powerfully in the Columbus area. As part of the family of Rock Churches, our heart has always been to faithfully serve this city, lifting up the name of Jesus and sharing the hope of the Gospel. Over the years, we’ve seen thousands of lives touched—and, more importantly, transformed and saved by the power of Christ. What began with a vision to reach a city has grown into a thriving community where people encounter God, experience His presence, and walk in His purpose.
Build His House. The Rock Church Columbus has seen God bring incredible growth, and now we are stepping into a new season—one that requires a permanent home to carry all He is doing. Build His House is our campaign to create a space where people can encounter Jesus, families can be discipled, and the Kingdom can continue to expand in Columbus. Our future is so much brighter with you in it, and we invite you to partner with us in faith as we build His house together.
