WELCOME

Welcome to The River Community Church! We are thrilled that you’ve made the decision to check us out!

At The River we recognize that life is messy. More often than not, we’re all just trying to figure it out. It’s through that lens that we approach this thing called “church”.

As a diverse group of people, we envision a church community that actively embraces and lives out God’s redemptive plan through everything we do. We invite all people; regardless of age, race, ability, creed or orientation, into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that through embracing our differences, our lives can be changed, enhanced, redeemed, and renewed.

You see, we believe that The River Community exists to embrace people with the radically inclusive love of God, to ignite in them a vibrant faith in Jesus Christ, and, empowered by the Spirit, to transform lives both in Edmonton and around the world. In short, we are called into:

Loving People. Igniting Faith in Jesus. Transforming Lives.

WEEKLY UPDATES

What can I Expect?

We are excited to gather again at Millbourne Community Life Centre (2101 Millbourne Rd West NW) on Sunday Mornings 10:00 AM.

We are a young multi-cultural church that is very active in our community.

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about our Sunday Mornings!

FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH:

The First Sunday’s of each month are dedicated to our INTERACTIVE services and a Potluck. Children will stay in the service for worship and a message that caters to all ages. We might even have some group activities for you to do! After the service, we all join together for a meal with a different theme each month. Our May 5th potluck theme is: Neighbourly Foods!

ON THE SECOND SUNDAY OF THE MONTH:

We celebrate communion, all are welcome at the table of GOD.

WHAT COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS ARE IN PLACE AT THE RIVER?

Since March 2022, we have lifted all restrictions on hand-sanitizing, masking, and physical distancing. We encourage attendees to be as comfortable as they see fitting their needs.

We believe that the prior guidelines promoted Humility (maybe I am carrying the covid virus), Kindness (I'm concerned for your wellbeing), and Community (I want my community - home, work, and play - to thrive). We have appreciated everyone’s compliance with those practices over the past 2 years - thank you!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT A WORSHIP GATHERING?

During a typical worship service, you can expect inspiring worship with a full band, prayer, Scripture reading, and a life-giving message from one of our pastors. If you need prayer or have questions, just come to the front after the message and speak with one of our ministry leaders. Whether you are exploring the Christian faith for the first time or a long-time believer, our Sunday service has something for everyone.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

At The River we embrace the idea “come as you are.” This means you can show up wearing your everyday clothes. Whether in shorts, suits, dresses or jeans – all are welcome to join us!

WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR KIDS?

Every worship service we have activities for children during the service. From Age 3 to Grade 6 there is a specialized children’s program in place.  We ask that you sign your kids in before the service to ensure we have all the necessary information. All of our children’s volunteers have had police checks and training. We are “Safe Church” certified.
