Key Events
Impact Night
October 4 | If you haven't been through any of our Growth Track, and you’re looking for a way to Discover Your Purpose and get more connected here at The River, come to Dream Team Impact Night! You will hear from Pastor Matthew, meet ministry leaders, take a tour of the South Campus renovation, and "fast track" through our two classes: Discovery 101 & Serve 201 at the same time. These two next steps are typically completed separately and they're designed to help you learn more about The River, discover where you fit, and get plugged into a ministry area to serve.

FAQs
When are we moving in?
Our last Sunday on the north campus will be Sunday, November 1. On the same day, we will have a Move Crew type serve day. Everything will be moved to the south campus that day. This is an all hands on deck church family day!
When do services start at the south campus?
November 8 will be our first Sunday on the south campus! We will have two Sundays (Nov 8 & 15) as a church family to get adjusted to our new facility, new serving roles, new service times and worship together. We will highly publicize our Grand Opening Sunday on November 22 and invite the entire community! (Psst...new people can come any Sunday they want. But we will roll out the red carpet for them on Grand Opening Sunday!)
Will all our River Church services happen on the south campus?
Yes! Once we move, we will be full time on the south campus for all River Church ministries.
What is my next step?
Get involved! A bigger campus means more room for lost people to come find Jesus. It means more serving roles and more need. It means more opportunity for ministry every weekend. Click here to sign up for Impact Night. You can make an impact! You are needed.
