What To Expect?
Our main 9:00 Sunday morning service will last around 50 minutes. Our main 10:30 am service will last about 90 minutes. You can expect to sing along to celebratory and contemplative songs through a mixture of contemporary and traditional music played by our live band including drums, guitars, keyboards and singer via our Worship Team. We remember the cross through communion and grow in faith through listening to relevant Bible teaching. A ministry team is also available should you wish to be prayed for. Our services are conducted in English.
Stick around after the service to meet & greet with our Bishop & Lady Godbee.
FAQs
You may wear whatever you want. There are some people who wear suits and ties, but many go more business casual (slacks and a button shirt), and still others wear jeans and t-shirts. It’s important to remember that God looks at the soul, not at the suit.

The River Church has several worship environments that are designed to feel comfortable but not overwhelming.
Each service has just enough people so that you won’t feel alone, but not so many that you would feel lost in a crowd. We are a place that is personal, accepting, inviting, but not overbearing.
Our services feel very connected and personal as each service has roughly 350-400 people.
We do bring an offering, but it is for our members and regular attendees. If you are a visitor/guest, please do not feel obligated to give.
When you attend an event or program by The River Church you enter an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur.
Our Connections room has a variety of up-to-date information on all of our ministries and events. We also have our River Cafe open both before & after service filled light refreshments for your patronage.
