Come as you are


I know, I know, a lot of churches say it.  "Come just as you are" ...but most people feel that they truly cannot come to church just as they are.  They feel like certain expectations are on them to dress a certain way, or look a certain look.

At River of Life, you can come in blue jeans, shorts, a t-shirt, or in casual dress clothes.  No suits or dresses are required!  We want to have a comfortable, and yet open environment for our visitors and guests.  We want you to feel comfortable and at ease, and allow God to work on your heart, not your clothing.  When you come to the River of Life, we want you to enjoy the celebration and the singing, and be prepared for a life changing message!

So we really do mean it when we say:
 

Come just as you are...
and we will love you just as you are!




God cares & so do we

River of Life is here to share God's love with our community and our world.  We love Him because He first loved us.  God wants to be your Heavenly Father, and we want to be your brothers and sisters in Christ.  If you are in Portage, or near the area, please come make friends today at River of Life.

Why all the Fuss?

Ever wonder why churches make such a fuss over this Jesus?  Why was He so important?  Ever wonder if the Bible and Christianity were really real or not?  If it is real, it's an incredibly big deal.

Seeing Clearly

Have you ever tried to read the Bible but didn't understand it?  Why would the Word of God be so difficult to read?  His Word is spiritual language, and we simply need an interpreter (or decoder) to help us understand it.  That is where we ask the Spirit of God to apply the Word of God to our hearts.  I know sometimes it seems almost impossible to understand, kind of like trying to open your eyes under water.  However we can see clearly, when we are looking through the right goggles.
