Grow With Us

The River wants to help you take your "next step" in your spiritual walk whether it be baptism, finding a life group, serving the community, or jumping into Growth Track (our spiritual growth course). Check out the "My River" section of our app to go all in!

Next Steps
KNOW GOD

The River Church wants to help you know who God is, and strengthen your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A great place to start is by being in The Word. Read along with us on the YouVersion Bible App, and don’t forget to set The River as your home church.

FIND FREEDOM

Freedom can be found in Jesus Christ. We would love to walk alongside you all the way from accepting salvation, being baptized, and getting plugged into a community that supports and directs you to God through all of life’s battles. What is your “next step”?

DISCOVER PURPOSE

God made each one of us with a specific purpose. Have you found that purpose? Growth Track is one of the many ministry events at The River, and this spiritual course helps you discover how God made you, and then take those gifts He has given you and discover your purpose.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

We were made to share our faith, to go out into the harvest fields, and do everything we can to populate heaven. There are many ways you can make a difference, not just at your local church, but in your community, workplace, state, and this world. We want to give you the tools, support, and missions to make that difference.
