About Us

Welcome and thanks for checking out the River Church website. You’ve turned to the “About Us” page, so let me tell you about The River.

We were born on Easter 2007. We’re convinced the Church is more than a social organization; it’s the organic, living, life-changing, culture-transforming extension of Jesus Christ. Our to-the-core commitment is to be Christ for our communities: to think what Jesus would think; to feel what Jesus would feel; and do what Jesus would do.

We are motivated by strong convictions and values. We are convinced that Jesus is Supreme. He is worth our highest affection and insists on being Master of our entire life. Even though our current culture espouses a ‘many-paths-God’ theology, we’re absolutely convinced that the sacrificial death of Jesus is the only path to God.

We are convinced the Scripture is the authoritative rule for faith and life. Some contend the Bible is merely humanities words about God. We believe the Bible is God’s Word to us. We’re not ‘Bible-thumpers’, but we are betting our life that God’s Word leads us to the best way of living.

We treasure opportunities to give grace. We like messy people. We’re kind of messy ourselves. In our teaching and worship we try hard not to put on a ‘church face’, but with honesty worship God. If you are thinking about going deeper in your spiritual journey, join us. I’d love to worship God with you.
