ABOUT US
The River Community Church
"We exist to be a home where people encounter the Father’s love, grow secure in their identity, and are sent out to live and share that love - upward toward Him and outward to the world."
It's our desire to walk along side people as they grow in the understanding
of their true identity as beloved sons and daughters of a good Father.

THE DETAILS
Our Leadership Team
The River Community Church is lead by a team of leaders rather than centered around one individual.
In the New Testament, churches were often led by a plurality of elders and ministry leaders who served together in humility, wisdom, accountability, and unity (Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5, 1 Peter 5:1–3).
We see shared leadership as a biblical model of the Body of Christ; where different gifts, perspectives, and strengths work together to care for, equip, and shepherd the church family.
