Our Collective Calling

We exist to extend God’s Kingdom to hearts, habitats, and humanity.  

We believe that Jesus calls his church to be a compelling force for good in the world.  

We believe that the church is at its best when it serves, sacrifices and loves, caring about the things God cares about.  

In the essentials of faith, we pursue unity*, in non-essentials we value liberty, and in all things, we pursue loving charity.  

We are all invited to live out the transformative message of the resurrected Jesus.  

We believe that God loves us, and God likes us. We are broken, we are forgiven, and we are trusted with the kingdom.  

We were created to live for something larger than ourselves.  

We are The River Ōpāwaho

*For us at The River, The Apostles Creed covers the essentials around which we unite.
