A first Sunday
What it's actually like
-
It lasts about an hour and a half.
Singing, an The talk walks through a passage of the Bible in order and explains what it says, rather than starting with a topic and finding verses to fit it. talk from the Bible that assumes nothing, then everyone heads to lunch.
-
The music is a live band.
Singing is optional, but we believe singing together honors God and is medicine for our souls. Come learn a new song with us, or sing an old one.
-
Wear what you're comfortable in.
Jeans are normal. So are church clothes. Come as you are.
-
Someone will help you land.
A greeter will say hi and get families where they need to go. Nobody will single you out or put you on the spot.

River City Kids
3 years – 5th grade
Kids start in the service with their families, then head to their own gathering. Bible, games, and leaders who know their names.
Youth
Students,
Wednesdays at six
Sixth through twelfth grade meets Wednesday nights at 6:00 in the gym. On Sunday mornings students stay in the service with everyone else. We think that is good for them and good for us.

City Groups
Church is more than
an hour on Sunday
City Groups are small gatherings in homes around the Shoals: dinner on the table, honest conversation, people praying for each other by name.
Groups launch October 4. You can sign up now, or say so on a connect card and we’ll get you in one.
Who we are
Led by a team,
centered on Jesus
River City is led by a team of pastors rather than a single personality. We think that's healthier for everyone.
What we believe, the short version
God
There is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus
Jesus is God. He lived a real life, died Christians believe Jesus took on himself the punishment for wrongdoing that belonged to us, so that we could be forgiven., and rose again.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is at work in ordinary people, right now.
The Bible
The Bible is God’s word, and it gets the final say.
Serve
Help build it
A church in a school gym runs on people who show up early and stay late. Setup, kids, music, the front door. Some people would rather build something than attend something. This is for them.
Give
For the people who
call this home
Giving is how the people of River City cover what it takes to operate, support our ministry partners, and serve our neighbors across the Shoals. It's for the folks who call this place home. It is never the point of a first visit.
