Wade Deeper into the Presence of God

Welcome

Faith is a journey 

Have you ever been whitewater rafting? If you have, then you know that the goal was not to get from Point A to Point B. The goal was the journey. In The River, faith is a journey with multiple paths to experience and share abundant life, embodying the historic Christian faith in an authentic community where you can belong before you believe.

How do I journey to experience and share abundant life? 

Abundant Life is Up, out and In

We journey to experience and share abundant life three ways. "Up" is in worship,  "Out" is in community service, and "In" is small groups that meet weekly for bible study, prayer and mentoring.  

"Up": Explore abundant life

Worship is a great place to start exploring how to experience and share abundant life. We encounter the living God, giving thanks and praise and letting God touch and change our hearts.  Every week there are snacks and coffee after worship and once each month there is a social lunch to help you make friends. Another way to explore abundant life is at "Beer and Bible" every other Wednesday. There are many ways to 'dip your toe' in The River Church and explore this journey to experience and share abundant life.

"out": Engage in Missional community 

Once you have decided to make The River Church your church, the next step is to engage in a Missional Community.  Missional Communities are people with a shared interest in service who gather to love and help people in the community. You can read about our existing Missional Communities for adults here and for children and teens here. To discover which Missional Community is right for you, there is a six week bible study called "The Bridge." The Bridge starts June 6 and will meet at 11:45 a.m. on Sundays, right after worship.

"in": Be empowered and equipped in a small group

Small Groups of five to ten people meet weekly for bible study, prayer, and to mentor each other in how to experience and share abundant life. They are formed out of Missional Communities, so you will be with people you know already.
