Spreading God's Word

SINCE 2008

We are a church of imperfect people committed to reaching both our small community and the

big world with the love and good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are on this journey together! 

Together we are learning to follow Jesus as our Lord... to be others-focused in our willingness to serve... to be committed

to spending time with God in devotion... to live generously and not selfishly... and to be connected in community

combining the gifts that He has blessed us with to care for and bless one another!


A comfortable experience

You've got only one job: relax! Whether you're new to The River's Edge, a regular attender, or maybe you have never been to church before - we want you to be able to sit back, kick off your shoes and simply relax. Have a great time... you're with friends.

Our

Beliefs

In the essentials we need unity, in the non-essentials we need freedom; but in all things we need love. 

 - Rupertus Meldenius



THE APOSTLES' CREED


I believe in God, the Father Almighty

Maker of heaven and earth


I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

Born of the virgin Mary

Suffered under Pontius Pilate

Was crucified, dead, and buried

On the third day He rose from the dead


He ascended into heaven

And is seated at the right hand of the Father

He will come again to judge the living and the dead


I believe in the Holy Spirit

The Holy Christian Church

The communion of saints

The forgiveness of sins

The resurrection of the body

And the life everlasting.

Amen.



We are in association with Converge Worldwide, 

which includes about 1,200 churches in the US.
