River Corner Church
River Corner Church is a growing church community of everyday people who gather to worship God, follow Jesus, and serve through life together. We gather on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM to worship and experience God, study the scriptures, journey through life together, and to partner with the Holy Spirit. It is our hope that you will gather with our simple community of Jesus followers. Come as you are—just be yourself.
