We discover God best when we are intimately connected to other believers in a true state of communion in the Holy Spirit. This simply means that a bunch of strangers all have this amazing common ground in their love for Jesus, and all that He has done for us. Because of that love, a crazy, powerful bond is build that surpasses what the world calls friends and a supernatural family is produced. Whether all this takes place in a living room, coffee shop or in a building, the world calls “church”, this matters little to us. We believe the power of the “Church” (called out ones) is mainly held in the unity of the people who have been called out of darkness and into His marvelous light. We don’t have it down yet and we are all in process, but everything we do here at the Rivers, we strive to do out of the love we have for God and one another!
Because loving God and others is our top priority, it is imperative that each person is empowered by the Holy Spirit to operate in their gifting’s and callings. Every individual is and has an essential part in making this team successful in carrying out our mandate from the Father: Go Make Disciples! In order to carry out our orders we must equip, train and encourage each and every person to reach their full potential in Christ. We accomplish this task through one on one discipleship, small group bible studies and various ministries groups, large group & corporate settings and community outreach and evangelism. We do life with each other, not for one another. Our goal is to get 100% participation in following hard after God.
