Are You enough?

Dr. Charles Park found himself wrestling with a common question we all face: "Am I Enough?"  To answer it, he looks at the story of Adam & Eve and the notion of "original sin" and draws some surprisingly relevant insight for our lives today.  Please give it a listen.

Learn about our beliefs

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.

watch member stories

On our Member Stories page, you'll find six 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.

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.  ​
