Our Family of Churches

 

Our Immediate Family of Churches:

Part of our vision as a church is to plant churches in order to make Jesus known. One of the ways we accomplish that vision in through our missions and training organization, Community of Faith International (CFI). Click here to learn more about CFI.

In the summer of 2008, the church we were sent out of Community of Faith Christian Fellowship, under the leadership of The River's present lead pastor, Sean Richmond,challenged the leadership team with the thought that we as a movement were called to start 12 churches in 10 years in the Northeast. Referred to as the "12 in 10" vision, we have been believing in prayer for this word to come to pass as we see The Harbor (listed below) and our church, The River, as the first fruits of this word.

Below is a listing of churches that have been sent out by CFI:

International:
We currently have two teams in Africa as well as a team set to be sent out to Southeast Asia in February of next year.

 

 

Our Extended Family of Churches:

The River Church is part of the Antioch International Movement of Churches based in Waco, Texas.  We are a movement of churches connected by relationship and a desire to love God, love one another and love those who do not know Jesus, through the power and work of the Holy Spirit. The Antioch Movement, which began more than 20 years ago, is dedicated to seeing the local church reproduce the Kingdom of God through evangelism and discipleship throughout the United States and around the world.

As a member, we are relationally connected to over thirty other churches around the world, a number that is growing exponentially each year!

Antioch International Church Plants (for those with websites) We have 31 teams working in 22 countries.


The Antioch movement of churches has over forty teams working in twenty-two countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Several of those teams have handed leadership of the churches they planted over to local, indigenous pastors. We are excited to be partners in this same vision through our local body of believers here in Massachusetts!
