The structure of the service falls into three relatively equal parts: Worship, Prayer & Praise/announcements, and a sermon. We will be streaming the service in #118 Parent Room and the Lounge near the front foyer area for anyone who does not feel comfortable worshipping in the sanctuary, or for families that would like to access alternative spaces. After service, join us in the Bridge area for fellowship, coffee, and snacks!

River City  "Building Together"  There has been so much fantastic progress on the lot next door as the space becomes a place of safety and joy for the kids of RCITY, as well as an asset to all of us at River City. While R CITY grants cover most of the materials, donations are still needed to cover the costs for this fantastic space. Please consider giving to this transformational project! Your dollars will immediately be put to work for the future of all the R CITY and River Cityyouth. As we continue with the renovations of the lot next to River City, we invite you to support the project. We invite you to partner with us by giving and sharing the link below with your network, friends, and family.
