“We have always been involved in the activities and work of our church. For many years we were part of a large church with lots of hands to help. We found River of Life, a small and new congregation with lots of opportunities to be involved. Some extra hands were needed and welcomed. The congregation is amazing with total voluntary involvement by everyone in fellowship, stewardship and any activity or project that we take on. It makes the congregation feel like family.”

“I drive past at least six churches on my way to River of Life. Why? The people are friendly, and the sermon is focused on the Bible. All churches struggled with COVID, but the strength of the fellowship bonds bought River of Life thru a catastrophic fire. Today we have a completely rebuilt facility. Another benefit is our praise of God. Many churches give one the impression of dogged persistence. But we are joyous in the Lord. We like to celebrate, especially on the last hymn when we use our noise makers to a peppy tune.”

“I like that River of Life is a Lutheran church. It is easy to get to and very close to my house. The people at River of Life are very friendly and caring. It doesn’t matter where you come from or what you do, we are all accepted as children of God. Whenever there are projects or programs, people pitch in to help. You are never left feeling alone. River of Life has been blessed with having many talented members. We have a strong faith in God. We love our church, our members and God.”

“River of Life has a very strong sense of cooperation. It seems everyone volunteers at some level…at whatever level their life allows them to. There is very little in-fighting or pettiness. Everyone seems to get along and are supportive of other’s ideas. It is a very friendly, welcoming church.
RoL is the ‘eatingest’ church I have belonged to. Along with the eating comes the fellowship and the social bond that exists among everyone.
The teaching aspect of the church is strong. I have learned so much and my faith has grown since being at RoL.”
