The River Church
On June 13th, Pastor Brad will be starting our summer series called, "People Just Like You!" Join us at 9:45 or 11:15 as we learn about different people in the Bible and how their lives are not only similar to ours, but a great way to learn more about God and his relationship with us.
Welcome! We are so glad that you are here. You can follow along with the talk here and add your own notes. Right below here you can see what is going on at The River.
Let us know if there is anything we can do to better serve you. Oh, if you haven't done so already, remember to head to your favorite social media platform to let everyone know you are here by checking in or following and liking ours!
