Who We Are

As long-time residents of Arizona and devoted fathers, Alice Cooper and Chuck Savale understand firsthand how desperately Valley communities must address the needs of its teenagers. The two shared their dream while playing 18 holes of golf, a favorite pastime of theirs. Together, they envisioned a Christian organization solely dedicated to helping these teens. In November of 1995, Solid Rock was founded and the dream became a reality.

Originally, Solid Rock existed to raise money for other Christian organizations and individuals with like-minded missions. However, the dream went well beyond its original fundraising foundation. Alice and Chuck envisioned a teen center that provides an outlet where teens can flourish, understand themselves, learn and equip themselves for the road ahead. Thus, the idea of "The Rock" was born and the primary mission of Solid Rock was realized.

The Rock

Through dedication and hard work, Solid Rock has begun the task of securing a site and working through the process with local municipalities to make a dream a reality. The Rock Teen Center will be a space where young adults can be creative, educated, active, and safe.

The staff of relationally-trained, Christian men and women will be devoted to guiding teens through this turbulent time in their lives. Programs will be centered around a multi-use concert hall, coffee house (kitchen/snack bar for concerts & other events), indoor basketball/floor hockey court, rock climbing walls, sound room and recording studio, computer/reading/study rooms, and game room.
