Welcome to The River. We are so glad to connect with you here. We hope this site is a place you can discover The River, and find resources that will help you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ.
In almost 34 years of pastoring in North San Diego County, we’ve never been more urgent about God’s presence, and His plan for His glorious Church and mobilizing His people in prayer and doing the Commission He has given the Church. We are a church committed to prayer and the Word of God, and to experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit, as we learn to love and obey Jesus. Our mandate is to make disciples who make disciples. We value the unity of the Body of Christ, not only within this church family but with the Church of our region, our nation and nations of the world. We are deeply committed to partnering with the Lord in the fulfillment of His prayer in John 17, …” that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are One: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect on one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”
God’s plan is for you to know and experience Him intimately and live a magnificent life of purpose that impacts people with His love and leaves a legacy forever. Whatever your age, whatever your beautiful cultural background, wherever you’re from, you are welcome. We’d love to meet you at one of our services, where you will experience what The River is best known for: God’s amazing love.
All for His glory,
Matthew and Amy, and the River Team
