Founding Pastors
Our History
Church on the Rock was founded by Pastors Peter and Sheela Duraisami in May of 1996. Prior to that, they had been serving God in various capacities in secular as well as Christian spheres.
In May of 1996, the Lord clearly spoke to them about starting the church. In obedience to the Lord’s leading, and upon confirmation from their spiritual father Apostle Willie F. Wooten, Church on the Rock was launched in May 1996. With a group of seven elders and a few new believers, COTRIM had its humble beginnings in the living room of a friend?s house.
Since then, COTRIM has grown numerically and spiritually and has evolved into an international ministry. Our work includes anti human trafficking projects in India, caring for needy children in Sri Lanka, sending and supporting long term missionaries in Uganda, Thailand and China, sending short term mission teams, and organizing medical clinics and evangelistic crusades in developing countries.

Human Beings & Sin
Man was created male and female each in the image of God. However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death. We believe man is totally depraved in that he by himself is unable to remedy his lost condition.
