Service Information

Where: 950 Trumble St. (map)
When: 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM Sundays
What to Expect:

Worship –
Our service begins with 25-30 minutes of worship songs. We believe that one of the most important things that followers of Jesus do when they gather together is to give him praise and honor. During this time, you may see people sitting, standing, kneeling, or raising their hands. We invite you to participate at whatever level you feel comfortable. Try to use this time to personally connect with God.

Sharing –
At the River, it is important to us to take time in our service for anyone to get a chance to share. We provide 10-15 minutes for anyone to come to the front and share prayer requests, answers to prayer, stories from life, or anything else that is on your heart. This helps us to grow together as a community as we care for one another. We will often pray for different people during this time. At the end of the sharing time, we take our offering. This provides an opportunity for the people who regularly attend the River to give back to God out of the resources that they have been given. This helps to support the ministry of this church. Please do not worry about contributing anything until you become a part of the church community..

Halftime –
After our sharing time, we take a “halftime break” to eat bagels, drink coffee or juice, and primarily to connect with other people at the church. Everything is free, so help yourself.

Message –
After halftime, we gather back in the sanctuary to listen to the message. This is a time that we can learn together from the Bible about what we believe and how we should live. There is a place in your program to take notes if you desire. The message usually lasts about 25 minutes and is a very participatory and interactive time where anyone who wishes has opportunities to share their insights. We often close the service with a final song afterward.
