Who we are
River of Life Church cares about one thing more than anything else, Jesus Christ. ROL is a family of individuals that have found hope in Jesus, and simply want as many people as possible to experience that exact same freedom.
Our Mission is to see souls saved, restored, taught and released.
Where we come from
River of Life was founded in 1989 by a senior Pastors, Richard and Lori Joy. They had a vision for a church that was truly welcoming to everyone - where everyone had a seat at the table regardless of personal history, family background, ethnicity, or gender.
Where we're headed
Theme for 2021: RECLAMATION
”The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” -John 10:10
Throughout 2020, we saw lots of changes in how we could gather, worship and interact with one another. However, we serve an unchanging and almighty God! We adapted all of our services and small groups to keep our congregation safe, but still we were able to encounter Jesus each week! We began offering services online (via Instagram and Facebook) for the first time and we are really excited that God lead us to a new building for the start of 2021!
Our new address:
1660 Chicago Ave, Suite N15, Riverside 92507
We observe the guidelines set by the CDC and kindly ask that if you are unwell or have been in contact with someone who is unwell, to enjoy our services online.
What this means for you
What's the bottom line? More than ever, ROL is committed to fostering a family built around hope and legacy. Hope for the future and it’s generations. Hope for better. Hope for progress. Hope in Jesus. And as we move forward as a church family, inclusion and belonging remain at the center of who we are as followers of Christ.
What does this mean for you? Most importantly, you're always welcome at ROL. We're saving a seat for you. Wherever you're at in your faith journey, you'll always be accepted as part of the ROL family.
