We are a non-denominational, full Gospel ministry that is rooted in Worship and His Word. Jesus Himself described it best in John’s Gospel… John 4:23-24 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." NKJV Worship is an intricate part of every service because we understand that apart from His Spirit we are doing nothing more than having a series of meetings and calling it church. It is from a heart of worship and love for our Father that we recklessly abandon ourselves to Him. Our heart is to be a living representation of Ezekiel 47:9b “…everything will live wherever the river goes.” We believe that out of a heart of worship will flow a desire to please the Father in every aspect of life. Jesus said that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matt 12:34)…it is not just what is in your heart, but what is in there in abundance. The abundance of God inwardly will always have an effect outwardly…not just on us, but on those around us as well…that is Kingdom dynamics. Our culture is one that embraces God and each other…as the old hymn says “just as I am.” No matter what walk of life you are from, there is room at The River for you. Jesus told Nicodemus that unless a man “be born again” he could not enter the kingdom of God. His emphasis was on Nicodemus’ current spiritual condition, not on his past…He wasn’t concerned with where Nicodemus came from, but where he was going. Our style is one that is contemporary but passionate for purity. To clarify that let’s define purity - the absence, or degree of absence, of anything harmful, inferior, unwanted, or of a different type. Many in the world view purity as staunch and unapproachable, but we see it as a pursuit of Someone, Who is Lovely and Magnificent. We purpose to set an environment that is free from anything harmful, inferior and unwanted as we press into the presence of our Loving Father.
