Shock rocker Alice Cooper's Christian nonprofit, the Solid Rock Foundation, is building a 20,000-square-foot facility — a recreation center — for teens in Phoenix, Ariz., according to Agape Press. The foundation was started 11 years ago by Cooper and a pastor at his church to provide a free haven for at-risk kids. The building, christened The Rock, is to open early next year at Grand Canyon University, a private Christian college where 58-year-old Cooper has funded scholarships for years. The Rock will include a recording studio, indoor basketball courts, a rock climbing wall, coffee house, game room and a concert hall.
Cooper says, "We're not going to beat them over the head with a Bible, but we're certainly going to be available to tell them that that's available to them."
