Frequently Asked Questions

Is the coffee free and may I take it into the Sanctuary?

What is YouVersion? How do I get YouVersion?

YouVersion is the Bible app we use to provide you with notes for the weekend message. You can download the app by going to the App Store or Google Play Store and searching “The Bible App” and downloading to your mobile device.

To access the notes, open the app and choose “More” located on the bottom right-hand section of the screen. Then, select “Events”. Then choose “The River”. Notes remain available until Tuesday evening.

Why are there 2 campuses?

Worship here is different. Why is that?

Worship is very important to us at The River. It’s more than a ritual or simply the song portion of the service. We believe every worship experience is an opportunity for us to enter into His Presence and encounter Him. And, once we are in His Presence, we are in no hurry to leave!
Often, we sing what is in our hearts. Sometimes, we sing prophetically. (This means we are singing what God is saying in the moment.) There are times music just plays, and we give space for everyone to sing their own song to God. And in each of these situations, there are no words on the screen. This gives you the freedom to express worship in your own words to Him.

Is there a place for students on the weekend?
