Kids' Programs

We believe Jesus' promise of giving "life in all its fullness" applies not just to adults but also to kids! We believe that God-discovery and self-discovery are intimately intertwined and best nurtured in the context of belonging to a community. We strive to provide a safe space for this kind of exploration, where kids can wonder, explore, and encounter God and Jesus together.  ​

The River is founded upon seven guiding principles. But, like the entire Bible, they are summed up in this one statement:

"Unconditionally love your neighbor as yourself."

On our Member Stories page, you'll find five short videos of people from the River whose lives have been meaningfully impacted by God and our faith community. These members come from a variety of backgrounds, ethnicities, orientations, professions, and experiences, but all have found a new way to look at God, faith, and community through the River.

10 reason we love the river

We love it here - but don't take our word for it! Hear from our members as they describe in their own words why they love being a part of this fully-inclusive, LGBTQ-affirming community that believes Jesus is good news for everyone of every background.

The River is built on the great Christian statements of faith, including the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed. In addition, we are a part of Blue Ocean Faith—a network of like-minded church communities that are pursuing vibrant spirituality in secular settings.  The River is "verified clear" by ChurchClarity.org for women in leadership and full LGBTQ inclusion.
