Ministries

Music

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” – Colossians 3:16 NIV

We have live worship music every Sunday. Our musicians play Contemporary Christian music. The worship team is made up of people who are passionate for Christ and sharing the gifts that God has given them with Him and those around them.

The Worship Team is led by Austin and Hanna

Sound & Media

The sound team handles audio production and any recordings for church services. Audio technicians work together with the musicians to create the best possible worship experience. Stagehands assist with setting up and facilitating musical productions.

The media team augments the Sunday Morning worship experience with song lyrics, motion videos, live camera feeds, and/or lighting. Working at the visual media booth combines technical skill and artistic expression; visual media volunteers have a huge impact on the immersive worship experience.

Media is led by Zach Mitchell

Hospitality

Coffee Bar

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” – Hebrews 13:2 NIV

On Sunday mornings, the coffee bar is the center of conversation, laughs, smiles, and a warm “Hello” for the congregation. A pleasant smile and a hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate can be an invaluable gift to a new visitor.

The coffee bar is led by Darlene Betro .

Ushers & Greeters

“Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.” – 1 Peter 4:9 NIV

When a visitor attends the church, the first person they meet will probably be a Greeter or an Usher. Ushers & Greeters are the face of River Community Church, its first impression. They are crucially important for keeping things running smoothly on a Sunday morning.

Ushering and greeting is led by Steven Graulau .

Meals

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in;” – Matthew 25:35 NIV

The Meals Ministry exists to provide hot meals for people in extraordinary circumstances—new parents, people recovering from illness or injury, or people grieving over the loss of a loved one. Recipients of meals don’t need to be members of River Community Church. Preparing or delivering meals to families in need is a great way to show the love of Jesus.

For more information, contact our church office.

River Kids!

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” – Proverbs 22:6 NIV

Fruits of the Spirit Sunday School picture

Small Groups

ALPHA

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7 NIV

Alpha is an 11-week series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each weekly talk looks at a different question about faith and is designed to create conversation. No two Alphas look the same, but generally, they have three key things in common: a meal together, a talk, and good conversation.  Alpha is led by Tom Dick.

Men’s Ministry

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17 NIV

Empowering men to be a Godly influence in their families, the church, and the community! Growing Godly men through relational discipleship and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Men’s Ministry is led by Steven Graulau.

Women of Worth

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” – Proverbs 31:30 NIV

Women’s ministry is a chance to make lifelong connections with like-minded women. It is also a place for fervent prayer, learning and teaching, coaching, and becoming the woman God has created you to be!

Women’s Ministry is led by  Charissa Danielson.

Pray for Ukraine & USA

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. – 1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV
