Thanks for checking out the River. We look forward to getting to know you! We recognize that it can take a bit of time to get acclimated to a new church and recommend trying at least three Sundays before deciding if the River is right for you.

How can I get connected right away?

​Start attending a Sunday service regularly

• Although it can feel hard to carve out time from your busy life, attending the same service regularly will help you feel more comfortable and connected to the River. An added bonus is that you’ll hear about a variety of other classes, groups, and events.

Meet for Coffee with Sara

• ​​​Another great way to feel connected is to have coffee with our Community Pastor. Call  Sara Furste to schedule a time to meet. Coffee or tea is on us!

​
Attend “Newcomer's Lunch” (Next one is coming up on Sunday, October 14)

• Pastors Sara & John Furste host periodic lunches at their apartment for those who are new (or new-ish) to the church. It's a great chance to meet others and hear more about the River. Contact Sara Furste of fill out a Connection Card at a Sunday service to RSVP.

Visit a LifeGroup or Take a Class

• The River's LifeGroups and classes help connect you with meaningful relationships. If you're looking to build friendships at the River, these groups are a great place to start. Browse through the options to find one that fits your situation.

Serve the Needy with Us

• The River offers opportunities to serve the poor in the City and in the slums of India. This can be a great way to forge new friendships while making an impact on the world. Learn more here or contact Sara Furste to discuss ways to get involved.
