Leadership

Pastors

At Riv, we are led by a team of pastors that include everything from full-time employees to volunteers. Some work with one specific venue and others work with them all. As a team, they share the responsibility and burden of leading the church in our city.

Directors

Directors are men and women of deacon-level character that lead in significant areas of ministry at Riv. Many of them serve centralized functions that impact the entire church and others work with a specific venue. A lot of these people volunteer to serve the church, a few raise their own financial support, and others are on staff.
