what to expect

A recent visitor to the River described it well when he said, "This is a semi-religious, glorified nightclub!"

The River is often described as a place to experience the presence of God in a real and relevant way.

There is no dress code. However you choose to dress is honored.

During a majority of our worship gatherings, you will experience music videos featuring contemporary artists and movie clips as illustrations of God’s truth.

Usually after the message from God’s word, we will worship through music. You are encouraged to participate or to just listen. The songs have a variety of sources: Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, and Jeremiah Ratzsch to mention a few. Regardless of the source, they all proclaim God’s truth about life.

You will also experience laughter and tears. Being still and moving to and from the coffee counter.

Last Sunday's Teaching

JANUARY 22 - FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS... - Here's a great statement, "The mind will always take on an order that conforms to the order of whatever it concentrates upon." True isn't it? Each of us has something that we'll dig deeper into to understand it more. Maybe it's engines, computers, cooking, gardening, or whatever. Our desire to know more about something causes us to concentrate on that one thing.

The spiritual discipline of study is digging deeper, understanding, and experiencing all God has for us in relationship with Him. Join us this Sunday as we explore the discipline of study.

What are your gifts?

God has created us all differently, each with our own gifts and abilities. In order to live out our purpose in life it is important to know how we were created and know the gifts we were created with.
