In the following short videos, the four pastors of the River share a little about their lives, their perspectives on the purpose the River plays in the lives of our members, and what they believe God is doing through our faith community.

CHARLES PARK:
|
Pastor of Teaching and Outreach Charles Park shares about the biblical principle upon which the River was built, how pastoring has helped him come to terms with his own weaknesses, and how the River encourages faith in the living God rather than religious dogma.

SARA FURSTE:
|
Sara Furste always felt resistant when other people tried to tell her how she should connect with God. Today, as our Pastor of Community and Spiritual Direction, Sara tries to help each person in our community find their own way of responding to and interacting with God.
|
CAROLINE PARK:
|
As our Kids and Families Pastor, Caroline's goal is not to teach our kids to behave in certain ways or believe certain things, but to help them become aware of their own feelings and beliefs about God, and to nurture their own sense of self-discovery about God.
|
JOHN FURSTE:
|
According to our Pastor of Worship and Spiritual Development John Furste, the River doesn't teach people what to believe or how to behave. Instead, the River strives to create opportunities for people to encounter and interact with the living God.
