Pam and Alf River Community Church Abbot

Alf & Pam Dyck

Lead Pastors

Since 2001 Alf and Pam have been pastoring The River, when it was still called VCF (Valley Christian Fellowship). A pastoral couple that work together 24/7 - their hearts always seek to incorporate with other churches, as they look to make glad the city of Abbotsford with the Father Heart message that takes people out of religion and into relationship.

Pam and Alf view Sundays as a core to create community and celebration for what’s been going on all week, through worship, connection, and truth.

Alf loves watching people grasp a value and application for the Word of God in their daily lives, as they receive revelation of their identity in a Sonship culture.
Pam’s biggest passion is leading people through prayer so they can leave a load of spiritual weight, and step into freedom.

Lead Pastors

AnnaMarie & Mike Bakker

The Stream Pastors &

River Pastor's Assistants

Mike and Anna-Marie have 4 kids and 5 grandkids. They have a passion to see people understand they’re Loved. Not just by people, but seen as a child of God. “No matter where you come from, or what decisions you’ve made in life: you’re precious. And every time we meet with someone, this is the overarching message: you’re loved by the Father - that is hit Home again and again.”

Their vision is to see people have moment in their hearts where they are undone - an ‘A-HA’ moment, where there are no more questions, denial, or hesitation around the perimeter. No more beating around the bush, but saying ‘I have seen the Lord, and He spoke to me.’”

Anna-Marie brings life everywhere she goes. She does not cease to bring life to any room that she walks into.

Mike teaches the Father’s Love, and loves under all conditions with a care that makes a tangled mess look like a bull’s-eye.
