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 Clayton, Seth Dekkenga, 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.
