We see a church, a local Body of Christ with a God-like nature and Christ like character who know God through a passionate relationship & understand their position in Christ in heavenly places.  Kings called to reign & rule on the earth in the Spirit of God’s love, wisdom, justice, power, and authority.  They have a God revelation of how the Kingdom of our Heaven operates, therefore enabling them to release the purposes of God on the earth as the living vessels.  The rivers of living waters that have invested by the Spirit of the Lord in every one that is surrendered become instrumental within their generation to bring deliverance, healing & restoration to mankind by the grace of God that works mightily in them.

Key Verse: Ezekiel 47:1-9

THEN HE [my guide] brought me again to the door of the house [of the Lord–the temple], and behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple was toward the east; and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the temple, on the south side of the altar.  Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around outside to the outer gate by the way that faces east, and behold, waters were running out on the right side.  And when the man went on eastward with the measuring line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were ankle-deep.  Again he measured a thousand cubits and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that reached to the knees. Again he measured a thousand cubits and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that reached to the loins.   Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over or through.  And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he led me and caused me to return to the bank of the river.  Now when I had returned behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.  Then he said to me, These waters pour out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah (the Jordan Valley) and on into the Dead Sea. And when they shall enter into the sea [the sea of putrid waters], the waters shall be healed and made fresh.  And wherever the double river shall go, every living creature which swarms shall live. And there shall be a very great number of fish, because these waters go there that [the waters of the sea] may be healed and made fresh; and everything shall live wherever

We are a Christ-centered, Kingdom-principled congregation moving in the momentum of God. A people who are called to be Sons, because “Jesus is the first-fruit of many brothers”. This house is a spiritual family who is in covenant relationship with the Father. A generation that is called to rule and reign together with Jesus in heavenly places as kings & priests. Kings who understand and operate from the Divine nature of God that dwells within the heart of a surrendered worshiper; they move in kingship from a Godly perspective and character. We are to be a demonstration of the righteousness of God in the pure and eternal love of the Father in heaven. The revelatory word in action, as we are to “be the living epistles to be read of all men”.

We are radical, passionate worshipers and intercessors on the loose upon the face of the earth declaring His word of life, intentional in our faith. There is a command, a decree that inspires our existence to release the Kingdom of God here on the earth NOW. “Let Your Kingdom come, let your will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven".

We believe and understand that worship and prayer are the portals of heaven, therefore ushering in presence and glory of God.

Diversity will be found here, as we are a multi-ethnic gathering place of a corporate expression of the Son, for the Lord is a many faceted Presence.

Salvation is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the incarnated Word. He is the redemption of mankind through the blood sacrifice motivated by His love for His creation.

We are a congregation who releases all agendas for the reign and freedom of the Spirit of the Lord. God’s Presence a priority in our midst.

The apostolic & prophetic giftings are operational at River of Life, strong and accurate in their release for the purpose of building, edifying and encouraging of the people to thrust them into their destiny in God.

We embrace the five fold governmental gifts, “apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher" which are an essential part of the Body of Christ for the purpose of equipping, training, and bringing maturity.

All in the Body, who are surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ are springs, fountains, and rivers of living water to break forth HIS life, “For out of our bellies shall flow out rivers of living water".  The purpose of the flow is to replenish, to refresh, and to bring changes as God’s grace empowers and compels us to fulfill the commission.

You will find the worshiping arts being displayed to the fullest extent as God unfold His beauty in every avenue of artistic expression in music, song, dance, poetry, the spoken word, drama, painting. “For all things came from Him, and is by him and is for HIM for the praise of His Name"

We are a Three-Day Movement of God, signifying that your experience at River of Life will be outer, inner and a most holy place journey. A body, soul and spirit evolution by death burial & resurrection transformation experience through the Spirit of God and His life-giving word.

WE BELIEVE that the Bible is the inspired, and therefore the inerrant, Word of God. It is the final authority for all we believe and how we are to live.

Matthew 5:18; John 10:35; 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21.

WE BELIEVE that the one true God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power, and glory. We believe that God not only created the world but also now upholds, sustains, governs, and providentially directs all that exists and that He will bring all things to their proper consummation in Christ Jesus to the glory of His name.

Psalm 104; Psalm 139; Matthew 10:29-31; 28:19; Acts 17:24-28; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 1:9-12; 4:4-6; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 1:4-6.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, that He was conceived and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and offered himself as a penal, substitutionary sacrifice for sinners. By His blood, through His death on a cross He obtained for us eternal redemption, the forgiveness of sins, and life everlasting. He was raised bodily on the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father, they’re to make intercession for the saints at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:1-18; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:1-28; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:10-14; Ephesians 1:7; Philippians 2:6-11; Colossians 1:15-23; Hebrews 7:25 ; 9:13 -15; 10:19 ; 1 Peter 2:21-25; 1 John 2:1-2.

WE BELIEVE that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ordinance, ritual, work, or any other activity on the part of man is required in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God’s sight in order that we might be progressively conformed to the image of Christ. John 1:12 -13; 6:37 -44; 10:25 -30; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 3-4; 8:1-17,31-39; 10:8-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12-13; Titus 3:3-7; 1 John 1:7,9.

WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, in whom also we are sealed for the day of redemption. The Holy Spirit regenerates, forever indwells, and graciously equips the Christian for godly living and service. Subsequent to conversion the Spirit desires to fill, empower, and anoint believers for ministry and witness. We also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative today and are designed to testify to the presence of the kingdom and to empower and edify the church to fulfill its calling and mission. Matthew 3:11; John 1:12-13; 3:1-15; Acts 4:29-30; Romans 8:9; 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Galatians 3:1-5; Ephesians 1:13 -14; 5:18. 

WE BELIEVE that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church to be observed until the time of Christ’s return. They are not a means of salvation but are channels of God’s sanctifying grace and blessing to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 26:26-29; 28:19; Romans 6:3-11; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34; 1 Peter 3:21.

WE BELIEVE that the church is God’s primary instrument through which He is fulfilling His redemptive purposes in the earth. To equip the saints for the work of ministry, God has given the church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to equip and mature the Body of Christ. We also affirm the priesthood of all believers and the importance of every Christian being joined with and actively involved in a local community of the saints. We believe that women, no less than men, are called and gifted to proclaim the gospel and do all the works of the kingdom.

Matthew 16:17-19; Acts 2:17-18,42; Ephesians 3:14 -21; 4:11 -16; 1 Timothy 2:11-15; Hebrews 10:23-25; 1 Peter 2:4-5,9-10.

WE BELIEVE that God has called the church to preach the gospel to all nations, and especially to remember the poor and to minister to their needs through sacrificial giving and practical service. This ministry is an expression of the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ and is an essential part of the kingdom of God .

Isaiah 58:6-12; 61:1; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 4:18; 21:1-4; Galatians 2:10; 1 Timothy 6:8.

WE BELIEVE in the literal Second Coming of Christ at the end of the age when He will return to the earth personally and visibly to consummate His kingdom. We also believe in and are praying for a great end-time harvest of souls and the emergence of a victorious church that will experience an unprecedented unity, purity, and power in the Holy Spirit.

Psalms 2:7-9; 22:27 -28; John 14:12; 17:20 -26; Romans 11:25-32; 1 Corinthians 15:20-28,50-58; Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 3:20-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11; 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12; Revelation 7:9-14.

Heaven and earth are coming together declaring the glory of the Lord.  We are in a time of a great spiritual awakening, a renaissance of the Spirit, changes and transformation are taking place. The voice and the word of the Lord are being heard by those who have been hidden for such a time as this. Behold and see that the word of the Lord runs swiftly. We are in the time of great, supernatural manifestation of things that have never been seen before, or even experienced. Think it not a strange occurrence, for the Lord will remove all that He has never built and is exposing His Kingdom in brilliance and power. Let us follow closely to the assignment of God which beats within the inner man and fall in, move as He moves, speak as He speaks, love as He loves, because as He is, so are WE people of God. We no longer live but Christ lives in us and through us. For a light shall be seen in all the dark places of the world and behold the corporate SON appears to give hope, direction, strategy, deliverance, healing, salvation to all who believe!
