About Us
We exist to help people know and follow Jesus.
This is how we see our mission: RiverCross Fellowship is a community of people who seek to be disciples who make disciples. A disciple is simply a learner. An apprentice of a master teacher, in this case, Jesus. A disciple is someone who lives with Jesus in order to learn from Him how to be like Him. As we live in relationship with Jesus, we will fulfill our vision by growing more and more like Him.

We Do Life By The Bible
We believe the Bible is the true and actual Word of God and has authority for how we live today. So we read it, study it, base our Sunday messages on it, and – in everything we do – try to live it.
We are created to live in community with God and with one another. We believe life change happens best in community, so we intentionally require and create opportunities for community to happen: Life Groups are the core activity at RiverCross, where members and friends come to know Jesus and learn to follow Him.
We Do Life Together
Growth is not optional.
We believe people grow spiritually when we attend the Gathering regularly, participate in Life Groups, and serve together in the church and the community. We believe the church will grow numerically as together we LOVE and LEARN to LIVE like Jesus and invite others to join us on that journey.
