WHY US?
WE ARE
… real people filled with dynamic faith, committed to common beliefs, joined together in the covenant of love. We are Matures, Boomers, Millennia’s, Teens and Children. We believe in multicultural and multigenerational ministry. We love the camaraderie we find in this family called River of Life.
WE WERE
...the broken, grateful for undeserved redemption, astonished by amazing Grace, healed by forgiveness,
humbled by
the divine invitation to be included in the greatest cause on earth.
WE HAVE
…...big dreams. Our hands are in the dirt, putting broken things back together, like families, communities, cities, and nations.
WE SERVE
…...a Great God. The nations are His dwelling and our lives are His vessels. We minister to the abased and the exalted. We have compassion for the poor. Our hearts are open to the rich. We believe God wants to prosper those who believe and are generous for His purpose.
WE LEARN
…...to maintain our souls in direction and uncertainty, words and silence. We celebrate humanity. We worship the Deity of our God. The God we adore is deeper than our thoughts and greater than our vanity.
WE DON'T
...check our brains at the door, but we have rejected skepticism. We talk about things that matter to people: their doubts, fears, longings, families, relationships, goals, careers, failures, and successes.
WE COMMIT
…our foundations on the timeless traditions of our spiritual forefathers. And we have rejected those fleeting fads which leave little impact upon a generation. We are committed to being these three: biblically literate, culturally relevant, and spiritually sensitive.
WE ACKNOWLEGE
…that Church is God's idea. We believe changed lives joined together can make an eternal difference in our communities. We are passionate about church planting, church life and church growth. We revel in big crowds and are committed to small groups. We find the His Kingdom in both.
WE GATHER
…as the church consistently. We know that the true church are the redeemed followers of Christ. We love to worship and pray and believe and receive, give and go.
WE BELIEVE
… in a bright, colorful, positive, church culture. We abide by faith, hope and love. We are building a church that the un-churched are attracted to, filled with light, life, supernatural happenings, vision, purpose, loving people, great music and life-changing teaching.
