2012: The Rural Outreach Center is Incorporated
Also in 2012, the Rural Outreach Center (ROC) was incorporated as a separate entity from Pathways Christian Fellowship to allow for a focus on addressing the growing needs in the rural communities of southern Western New York. Within a year, the ROC became a 501c3 nonprofit organization with the mission to eradicate rural poverty in its community. Efforts began to find a home for both the ROC and Pathways Christian Fellowship – a place where services could be centralized and the community could gather.
