Fellowship & Worship

Fellowship is a very important part of The River. Fellowship is more than social functions, group events and projects. Fellowship is about connection and reception without expectations! Right from the beginning, we receive each person with grace and warmth. People will come to you and introduce themselves. They will also introduce you to others; every effort will be made to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. We love campers, hikers, kayakers and bicyclists! Our fellowship environment is casual, including dress. We believe in laughter, smiles, handshakes and hugs! We are also responsive to brokenness, suffering and despair. Everyone involved with our fellowship has needed and received forgiveness, mercy, and healing. Many of us are still working through significant issues in our own lives; The River is a place where we are encouraged to discover, learn and grow.

Worship is more than song; it is a matter of the heart and mind. At The River, worship comes from deep within our hearts and is expressed outwardly through songs, prayers, communion and sermons. Our worship experiences vary from Sunday to Sunday. At the core of all our Sunday Worship is corporate thanksgiving, people coming together to acknowledge God’s goodness and love. Our Praise Leaders bring a variety of music from contemporary music, classical hymns and gospel songs. We read scripture aloud, share in communion, and pray together. We preach and teach the word of God with the specific intent to honor God, and to learn to live, walk and work ​in the Kingdom of God.
