About Us

At River Run Christian Church we seek to equip all believers for ministry and encourage all our members to be a force for good in the world in which we live.

We pattern ourselves after the church as revealed in the Book of Acts, "…continued steadfastly in the Apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer."

We are an independent church, in that we are not governed by any outside denominational structure. We elect our own leaders and they direct the affairs of the church under the leadership of the Holy Spirit in accordance with His word.

We believe in outreach locally, nationally, and internationally, and support a variety of mission efforts.

We seek to be nondenominational, encouraging all believers to put aside man-made creeds and titles. We call ourselves "Christian" (Acts 11:26), and use the Bible as our only rule of faith and practice
(II Timothy 3:16-17).

We hope you’ll get to know us better!

We accept the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith and practice.
(Isaiah 40:8; Romans 15:4; Hebrews 4:12; II Timothy 3:16)

We believe that man, created by God, willfully sinned
and as a result, is lost and without hope apart from Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23)

comes by grace through the blood of Jesus Christ.
(Matthew 26:28; Romans 5:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; I Peter 1:18-19; I John 1:7)

We believe the Bible teaches that the pattern to receive Christ as Savior is,
to believe in Christ as God’s son and Savior of the world, to repent of personal sin, to confess Christ as Lord, and to be immersed in baptism. Each of these is clearly taught in the Word of God. (Romans 5:1-2; Luke 24:45-47; Acts 3:19, 17:30; II Peter 3:9; Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9-10; I John 4:15; Acts 2:38; Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12; I Peter 3:21)

founded on the day of Pentecost, consisting of all Christians everywhere.

to exercise spiritual leadership and authority over the local congregation.
(Acts20:28; I Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; I Peter 5:1-4)

We believe that death seals the eternal destiny of each person.
When Christ returns, He will formally pronounce the eternal fate of each individual, both living and dead. The saved will be assigned eternal life, the unsaved, eternal separation from God.
(John 6:39; Romans 8:10-11; 19:23; John 5:29; Daniel 12:2)

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Wear?
At River Run we are casual in our dress. We are sensitive to the fact that many people don’t go to church today because they feel that they have to dress or act a certain way. We want you to be comfortable while you are with us and allow God’s Spirit to minister to you during your time of worship, celebration and fellowship

Will I Be Pressured?
River Run is a church where you can come and be yourself…and if you wish, keep to yourself. We don’t pressure you to get involved, however, we do encourage everyone to become involved when they are ready. We’re not perfect. We don’t have all the answers, but we have designed a church for those who have given up on church.

What Can I Expect During Sunday Worship & Celebration?
We think that going to church should be an uplifting and positive experience for the entire family. As we worship and celebrate the Lord together, you will have the opportunity to learn more about God’s Word in a setting that is warm, friendly and fun.

What Can I Expect in Addition to the Sunday Morning Services?
In addition to our Sunday Morning Celebration services, you’ll find programs and activities designed to help your entire family grow closer to God and others.
