ABOUT THE RIVER
Our Story
We exist to exalt Jesus, encounter His presence, and lead people into the fullness of the knowledge of God.
WHO WE ARE
Five Things That Mark Us
At The River, we are a church marked by five defining characteristics. We are Presence-Driven, pursuing God above all else because His presence changes everything. We stand on the Authority of Scripture, trusting the Bible as our foundation and final authority for life and faith. We live in the tension of Grace + Truth, extending the mercy of Christ while holding fast to His Word. We champion Deliverance & Freedom, believing Jesus still sets people free today. And we practice Servant Leadership, following the example of Christ who came not to be served, but to serve.
