River Valley Christian Fellowship is a Southern Baptist, "Pastor-Led
Resource Church," led by our pastor, Cody Whitfill and
leadership team. Our Church is new, but our vision is ages
old. Our three main foci are
-
The lost
-
The family
-
Relationships
The Lost
This first focus has many facets
to it. For example, one way we reach the lost is by providing
a church that reaches out to young families, single parents,
teenagers, etc. We also encourage current Christians in the area to
come be a part of an organization that can use their God given
talents to reach more people for Christ.
The Family
We see family as a very important
part of the Christian life. We believe that as we offer a
"contemporary style" church, families from all walks of life will be
drawn to River Valley. Children and youth ministries are a
very important part of River Valley. We believe that by
offering strong children and youth ministries coupled with a
"contemporary style" church, many families will find River Valley
appealing.
Relationships
Another key to River Valley is
relationships, formal and informal relationships are important for
Christians in today's world. We provide an atmosphere where
people go to church with their "friends," not just their
"acquaintances." River Valley is a place where Christians know
there will be someone to encourage them, mentor them and hold them
accountable. A place where non-Christians feel welcomed, cared
for, and yet see a joy in the Christian's heart, and that they may
want. A place where everyone hears the gospel in all its
judgment and all its mercy as well as see the love of Christ through
the relationships they form at church.
