About Us
We Can't Wait to Meet You!
At River City Church, we invite you to join us in attire that makes you feel at ease and welcome. Our congregation embraces a wide range of styles, from casual wear to business outfits. Whether you prefer dressing up or keeping it relaxed, you're warmly accepted here.
What to wear
As you arrive at River City Church, you'll find parking at the top of the hill. Enter through our main doors, where our friendly First Impressions team will greet you warmly.
Just inside, you'll step into our foyer. From there, you can access the sanctuary through the central doors located at both ends.
Where to go
Our service begins at 10:00 AM with a time of worship featuring 3-4 modern worship songs. The lyrics will be displayed on the screen, and we encourage you to sing along and engage however you feel comfortable.
After worship, we'll share a few announcements about what’s happening at River City Church, followed by an encouraging and relevant message. The service will conclude with prayer and typically wraps up by 12:00 PM.
What to expect
At River City Church, our messages are thoughtfully crafted to inspire and challenge you in your faith journey. Rooted in biblical truth, each sermon is designed to be relevant and applicable to everyday life, helping you grow in your relationship with God and others.
We believe that engaging with God's Word together transforms lives. Join us this Sunday to experience a message that speaks to your heart and encourages you to live out your faith in practical ways.
Messages
If you're attending with children, they're welcome to stay with you during the service.
Alternatively, we offer three distinct subgroups. River City Kids caters to a range of ages and developmental stages. Little Lights (ages 2-5) sets the foundation of faith through interactive play and gentle learning. Kingdom Kids (K-4th grade) fosters a deeper understanding of God's love and teachings using creative activities and stories. For our older attendees, Young Disciples (5th - 8th grade) dives into discussions and exploration, nurturing a strong sense of discipleship.
Let's learn, grow, and thrive in faith, one joyful step at a time.

OUR VISION
OUR MISSION
EVERY CHURCH HAS A UNIVERSAL MISSION.
Our mission as part of the Church of Jesus Christ is two-fold.
-
The Great Commission.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
WE ARE A PEOPLE OF PURPOSE.
2. The Great Commandment
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:28-31
WE ARE A PEOPLE OF LOVE.
