The River Christian Reformed Church

Our Mission: We exist to make disciples who put God’s love on display to our world

Our Vision: To see a people inspired by God’s love and faithfully sharing that love with the world.

Our Values that put God’s love on display are:

Worship - Love Received:
We believe that worship is an opportunity for us to give and receive love from the Triune God.
We believe that worship is a dialogue of love; God speaks his love into us, we speak God’s love to each other, and together we speak our love back to Him.
We believe that worship includes all of life and not limited to our worship gathering times. We have an opportunity to worship God in all we do.

Relationships - Love Shared
We believe that the Triune God lives in relationship in Himself and that is a model for us to live in a relationship of love with others.
We believe that relationships are best lived in Covenant Community that is marked by God’s promises of loving relationship with us.
We believe that loving relationships provide the best opportunity for us to grow, give and receive encouragement, provide comfort and support and be accountable with others in our walk with God.

Servant hood - Love Given
We believe that one of the highest callings for disciples of Jesus Christ is to follow Him in serving others sacrificially with concern for thanks or recognition.
We believe that servant hood gives us opportunity to meet Jesus in the lives and needs of others.
We believe that God has equipped each of us uniquely with gifts and abilities to serve others and to do so is an expression of gratitude to God for His gift to us in Jesus Christ.

The Result of the River living out our Mission, our Vision, and our Values is a Church filled with People who are always being Transformed by the Presence of the Holy Spirit.
