In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands the mission for the church, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Some of Jesus’ last words on Earth were for His followers to spread the Gospel, gather together for worship, and grow together in spiritual maturity. At The River Church we have dedicated teams to help us live out this command.
Elder Team
The Elder Team plays a crucial role in guiding and directing The River Church. Their leadership is rooted in Biblical knowledge, prayer, and experience, as they have been called to lead the church in the way of the Lord. As leaders, they strive to pursue wisdom in their responsibility, and decision-making. They provide the stability and direction necessary to navigate challenges, making key decisions that influence the direction of the church.
Locations Team
The Locations Team at The River Church plays a vital role in fostering community and spiritual growth. Under the direction of the Elder Team, each of The River Church locations is led by its own Location Pastor. Location Pastors are dedicated to connecting individuals within the church to one another and guiding them in their faith journey by teaching the Bible. Their mission is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can grow closer to God and each other.

They support fellowship and communication within the church, as well is in their local communities. Together, the Gather Team ensures a meaningful and engaging experience for all.
Grow Team
Education and mentorship are central to the role of the Grow Team. Through teaching and discipleship they help others grow, empowering them to become leaders themselves. They work closely with Growth Community leaders to foster Biblical wisdom, and a deeper understanding of God’s Word as they strive to help the church grow in their relationship with Christ.

The Operations Team ensures all physical aspects of The River Church are functioning smoothly. They take an active role in ensuring that buildings and vehicles are running effectively, as well as preparing spaces for events and gatherings. These roles often function behind the scenes but they provide every team with the tools needed to share the Gospel effectively.
