Our Mission
"To provide opportunities for individuals to investigate Christianity in a safe environment at their own pace and provide opportunities for them to experience the process of spiritual growth.”
Essential Elements
Our prayer is that God will use the River of Life Community Church to create:
- A strong network of small groups for the purpose of relationship building, Bible study, and a sense of belonging.
- Passionate and creative worship that draws us closer to Jesus and demonstrates what it really means to have a personal relationship with Jesus... to truly be a follower of Christ.
- Teaching that is biblical and relevant. This brings the life-changing message of the Bible out of the dust and into daily life. All honest questions will be embraced.
- A biblically functioning, accepting community where people care for people because Jesus first loved them. Truth will be spoken out of love, not out of a need to condemn or dominate.
- Opportunities that will allow putting faith into action.
- A creative, interactive, high-energy children's ministry. Two questions will guide Children's Church - "Did you have fun?" and "What did you learn?"

KEEP INFORMED. The leadership team of the River wants to keep you informed of any and all progress in the search for a new lead pastor. The leadership team, and the "soon-to-be-formed" search committee, will send out a progress report on a regular basis. To receive the progress report, please take a minute and sign up to receive the River's email newsletter. Signing up is a simple procedure on the home page of the River's website, www.cometotheriver.com. If you do not receive email, fill out a prayer card with your name and mailing address. Please note on the card "Search Update" and place it in the "Prayer Request" basket or in either of the "Offering Boxes." A hard copy of the progress report will be mailed to you. |

"A PLACE TO PRAY" This area is set aside for those who desire to have a place away from others to pray. It is available at all times during the worship gathering. If you choose to use the area for prayer, please move quietly to the room designated as "A Place to Pray." |
