WHAT WE'RE ABOUTThe River exists to help people strengthen their connections (to God, self, others, creation, and the world around us), more deeply embody unconditional love (Agape), and become more fully alive (John 10:10). Our pursuit of vibrant, inclusive, life-giving faith is guided by five core values: Diversity, Unconditionality, Good Fruit, Positive Difference, and Learning Posture.
Who's WhoWe hope you will join us and enjoy getting to know the amazing people of the River! To get started, you are invited to learn a bit about our pastor, staff, and board.
