On Sunday mornings at The River, you will notice that we devote a good amount of time towards worshiping Jesus in song. We do this because we believe the first and greatest purpose of the church, Christ's bride, is to worship Him! All other ministries flow out of an are fueled by worship. At The River, we desire to worship Jesus passionately, expressing praise and love and gratitude for Him and His deeds. We emphasize music in worship because it is a time honored medium and because the Scriptures admonish us to enter the presence of the Lord with music.

Come let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving and
extol him with music and song."  -Psalm 95:1-2 (NIV)

You will notice that people express worship in many different ways at The River. Whether kneeling, sitting, raising hands, or even dancing, we recognize that worship is first a posture of the heart. Our desire is to foster an environment of freedom for individual expressions of worship, honoring the Bible as our guide. We love worshiping the Living God, and we hope that you will join us in this great ministry to Him! We welcome all to attend our Sunday morning worship services that take place each week at the theater. Come and worship!

The River worship ministry is devoted to leading and equipping the church to worship God the Father, the Son and the Spirit. We desire to empower every believer to take up this mantle and privilege of worshiping the one true God, and we also want to identify, encourage and train those with specific gifts for worship leadership. If that is you, please contact Laura Richmond, to learn more about becoming involved with The River's worship ministry!
