FAQ
  • As Christians, we have been instructed to spread God's love to every corner of the world while also looking after people's needs.

    The purpose of our Community Engagement ministry is to connect with families and individuals on their spiritual journey by providing physical assistance.

    We believe that if someone is hungry, we should feed them, and if someone needs clothing, we should provide it.

    The love we receive from God should begin in our homes, extend to our communities, and eventually reach out to other parts of the world.

  • We believe that we can serve others best by working together with existing organizations, schools, churches, and grassroots groups.

    We value building relationships with city leaders in the areas where our churches are located, as they may have resources that can aid us in caring for others, such as income assistance or housing recommendations.

    If you represent an organization, we would love to connect with you and explore how your services can benefit our ministry.

  • Everybody! At RiverLife, we strive to create opportunities for families to serve together in a safe and accessible environment. You don't have to be a member to join our ministries or take part in our Serve Sunday events.

    We encourage families to work together in activities such as packing meal kits for our food shelf, writing cards to our adopted missionary kids in Warren, Germany, or volunteering for carnival games at a local school.

    If you have the desire to serve, message us and we can arrange an in-person meeting or a phone call to identify your talents and connect you with a ministry where you'll thrive.
