Who is River of Life?
River of Life is striving to be a bilically based family of God with a very simple mission - To Make jesus Famous. By that, we want to make Jesus better know to everyone we come into contact with. If we come into contact with someone who knows nothing about Jesus, we want to help introduce them to Him. If we come into contact with someone who alrady knows Him, we want to help them to know Him better. That is our consistent mission as a church.
Our method of accomplishing that mission as a church is to function with a mentality we call "Reach, Connect and Serve". It is a simple formula that keeps us on track with our mission in everything we do.
