Our mission is to lead people into an authentic, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
As our church grows, we are believing for 20,000 people to be gathered at River Valley locations, equipping us to send 500 individuals from our church as long-term missionaries.
Because our heart is global, we are passionate about sending as many people as we can on short-term Global Teams, while also equipping missionaries and ministries worldwide. We believe in this so much that we tithe on the tithe, which means that for every tithe dollar we receive, we set aside 10% to support monthly missions around the world.
We believe we are to live “blessed to be a blessing.” At River Valley, we give generously to over 100 Kingdom Builders initiatives. This is our over-and-above giving program, which invests in global missions, local church expansion and future generations of Christian leaders. Our goal is to raise $12 million annually so that the Kingdom of God will be resourced at home and all around the world.
And finally, we believe we aren’t doing this alone, and that’s why we’re building healthy and generous churches. We are committed to coaching 10,000 churches to double their missions giving, which could lead to an increase of $1 Billion annually for ministry and missions projects.
The best is yet to come! As you can see, our vision is big, and our church is growing, but we’ve made room for you and would love for you to be a part of River Valley Church.
River Valley Church is a part of the Assemblies of God and we hold to the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God.
1. The Scriptures Inspired
The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.
2. The One True God
The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God.
4. The Fall of Man
Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
5. The Salvation of Man
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
6. The Ordinances of the Church
The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life.
7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry.
8. The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.
9. Sanctification
Sanctification is an act of separation from that which is evil, and of dedication unto God.
10. The Church and its Mission
The Church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of her great commission. Each believer, born of the Spirit, is an integral part of the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven.
11. The Ministry
A divinely called and scripturally ordained ministry has been provided by our Lord for the fourfold purpose of leading the Church.
12. Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.
13. The Blessed Hope
The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.
14. The Millennial Reign of Christ
The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.
15. The Final Judgment
There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
16. The New Heavens and the New Earth
"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness."
Pastors Rob & Becca founded River Valley Church in an elementary school in 1995. It has since grown into a thriving church with nearly 10,000 in attendance across eleven U.S. campuses and two international campuses with plans for further expansion in the future.
Through Pastor Rob’s unique and practical preaching style, vision casting and gifts of leadership, he encourages people to live out River Valley’s mission of cultivating an authentic, life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
In addition to leading River Valley, he also serves on several organizational boards including the Lead Team of the Association of Related Churches (ARC) and speaks at events and conferences around the world.
