River of Life is......

The Gospel is the good news that God loves us without condition!  Jesus Christ is our substitute.  He became sin for us so that God will not punish us for what we deserve.  We have been made righteous in Him, so God loves us and delights in us just like He delights in Jesus.

To experience the power of the Gospel to transform our lives and the lives of others as they are drawn into the love of God that they see in us.

Small Groups

The strength of a church comes from its sense of community.  The focus and purpose for this community is to reach those who do not know Christ.  The gospel is shared through service, personal evangelism and preaching that draws the unbeliever into the incredible grace of God.  We are constantly reminded that it is the love of God that brings repentance and repentance is what is most needed in our relationship with Him.  Our obedience does not bring us into right relationship with God, our relationship with God enables our obedience.  Sharing the gospel becomes a joyous outpouring of the Grace He has already shown us.
