River House Employee Directory

Almost every church has the same mission. It goes something like this, Love God, Love people. Thats great, and every church should make that its mission, but it says almost nothing unique to that church. Our logo is our mission and our vision! The river represents the Trinity. In the great commission, Jesus told us to immerse people (baptize them)... in the name (character and nature) of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In 2 Corinthians 13:14 Paul paraphrases the Trinity as the love of God, the grace of Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. We are called to be immersed and to immerse others in the love of the Father, the grace of Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. The river also represents the river of Ezekiels vision in Ezekiel 47. It flowed from the temple and everywhere it went it brought life. The river is the presence of God and the culture of heaven that He brings. Whatever it touches gets healed and transformed. The house represents the people of God as a family. We believe that God is a good dad and Jesus, our older brother, Lord and Savior, died to adopt us into the family of God, making us sons and bringing us to glory. We do not run our church as a business. We run it like a family, in covenant with each other, knowing God as Father. The water wheel represents the power that comes when we stay in the river. As we abide in Christ, we bear much fruit. River House is called to be a family, immersed in the presence and power of God, allowing the river to flow from us to our city, bringing health, healing and transformation wherever it goes.Read More
