I'M NEW
Perhaps you grew up going to church each Sunday. Maybe you were reared attending a synagogue, a temple or a tabernacle. This may even be the first time you’ve ever considered going to a house of worship. We are so glad you’ve taken this first step in discovering more about the River of Life Christian Center. To alleviate any anxiety, we’ve created this page to answer any concerns you might have.
OUR PASTORS
Marvin & Deborah A Jackson
We know you have options for worship in our area and we are so excited you are considering the River of Life. While at our church, I hope you feel warmly welcomed and know that the Lord loves you. As you leave, we trust you’ve been given the tools—through the Word of God—that will equip you to lead a victorious life.
There’s nothing like experiencing a live worship celebration at The River. You’ll be among people who love you and embrace you as a brother or sister in Christ. So please join us at a worship celebration this week. You’ll find a word that will encourage, empower and equip you to reach your fullest potential. We’d love to see you there!
—Pastor Marvin Jackson

Yes! On Sunday mornings, our children’s ministry has prepared a separate worship experience for kids ages 3 through grade 6. We also have nursery facilities for infants and toddlers. Because kids matter, we work hard to ensure a safe, friendly, fun, faith-filled environment for your children. If your child is reluctant to leave you the first time, they are welcome to sit with you during worship.

After visiting the River of Life, people often express a desire to serve in a ministry area right away. We encourage you to take some time to get to know us and pray about God’s plan for you at The River. Take a few moments to meet some people, learn what you can about us, attend a few fellowship events and ask lots of questions. We’d love to see you serve God and his people and have many areas where you can discover your passions.
