Pastoral

  • Lisa Marie Tihen

    SENIOR PASTOR

    I believe that the most important thing for each of us to understand is how much God loves us. If we truly understand and receive God’s love for us, every fear will be rooted out of our lives. Fear comes from feeling that we will not be taken care of in some area of our lives (emotionally, spiritually, or physically), so we must fight for ourselves.

    The truth is that God has already fought for you, and He won the battle. He sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die in order to let you know how very much He loves you. Then Jesus descended into hell and defeated every enemy of God’s love. Christ was resurrected into eternal victory so that each one of us could rest in the precious, limitless, unconditional love of God, in fellowship with Him forever! No matter what you have done or not done, God loves you! Nothing you do or do not do will ever change that.

    hope you will join us at River City Church so that we can discover together the love of God for each of us – a love that never fails! I invite you to discover God’s great love for you!

    There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ~Romans 8:1

    For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ~John 3:17

    Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. ~John 21:25

    I BELIEVE John 14:6 – And Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life:  No man comes to the Father but by Me.”

    I BELIEVE the Way Jesus made on our behalf is found in Romans 10:9 which reads, “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.”

    I BELIEVE I John 5:4 – For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world:  And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.

    I BELIEVE the Word of God and the precious leading of the Holy Spirit always agree.  I believe that every believer, young and old, and everyone in-between who hears and does the Word of God will never fail.

    For God is love (I John 4:8), and love never fails (II Corinthians 13:8).

    Children's service begins immediately after Sunday worship.

Prayer Ministers

  • Sharon Skaggs

    LEAD PRAYER PASTOR

    This is what I, Sharon Skaggs, saw in the Spirit.

    I saw a prayer room at River City Church. I saw its purpose and what the room should contain. I saw a room with chairs, an altar, and a prayer basket to hold prayer requests. A scripture was on the basket which read, "Let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6). I saw a board on the wall with pictures of the people for whom we are praying, especially people with strongholds. I saw a board on the wall for praise reports for our answered prayers. Then, I saw something with which to play music.

    The purpose for this room was to give everyone at River City Church an opportunity to become

    The goal of the vision is to have prayer five days a week, eight hours a day with two people each hour, the latest hour being 7 p.m. Zechariah 4:10 reads, "We do not despise the day of small beginnings."

    Habakkuk 2:2-3 declares, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but the end, it shall speak and not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it shall surely come. It will not tarry."

    Join our prayer teams:

    Thursday mornings at 10 a.m.

    Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m.
