Disruption


 
We’d love for you to join a riv community! While we gather during weekend services as a large church family in each of our venues, these smaller groups of 20-30 people are a chance to invest in, and be connected with, those that live near you.

Prayer

The Bible talks about prayer as being an active approach to God. Paul, an early church planter who wrote much of the New Testament, encouraged us to bring everything to God in prayer (Philippians 4:6). We can thank God through prayer, ask for healing and support for those who are struggling, and simply give glory to who He is and what He’s done for us.
