Our Mission
As a family, we will joyfully demonstrate the goodness of God everywhere we go and expand His Kingdom through love, power, and service.
Our Vision
Releasing
Individuals to
Victoriously live
Empowered by the
Resurrection of Jesus
Each individual at RiverSong Church is significant, powerful, and free because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We have a commitment to live victoriously in every aspect of our lives which means living in personal wholeness. This comes through living in the truth of God’s goodness, our new Identity in Christ, and a commitment to growing together as a family. We believe the goodness of God is demonstrated supernaturally and His kingdom expanded through equipping healthy people to love and serve others well.
Essential Pillars
God is good.
Because God is good, we live with the joyful and confident expectation of good things happening in all we do. God is always good and He never changes.
Psalm 119:68
“You are good, and what You do is good.”
We are victorious.
Because of the triumph of the cross, we have everything we need to live victoriously and free. Our past experience does not define us, our present circumstances are under the influence of King Jesus and our future is full of hope!
2 Corinthians 2:14
“But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”
All things are possible.
Because we put no limits on what God can do in and through us, our lives are marked by dreaming big, the miraculous and risk taking.
Matthew 19:26
“And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
We are significant.
Because we are treasured sons and daughters of God, purchased by the blood of His Son, we have a mandate to represent Him well through love and service.
Galatians 4:6-7
“And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.”

As passionate worshipers, the presence of King Jesus is our top priority!
Through the cross, the barrier has been removed. We now have access.
We are responsible carriers of God’s presence everywhere we go.

Identity
We have a new identity as followers of Jesus.

As the children of God we live in response to, and are empowered by grace. We live from God’s acceptance, not for it.

Transformation happens by the renewing of our minds through believing the truth of God’s word.
We are committed to cultivating healthy families, and a healthy church family through a culture of love, honor and fun.
We equip and empower believers of all ages to bring the kingdom of God into their sphere’s of influence. There is no junior Holy Spirit.

Service
Now that we are totally free in Jesus, we have the responsibility and privilege of serving others well.
With our identity in Christ established, we seek to honor, value, and treat people the way God does.
The good news of the kingdom of God is rightly proclaimed and demonstrated through meeting people’s needs in a practical way.
