About Us
There is a River
The River Church is one of the many Spirit-filled churches that were birthed in the fires of revival over the last twenty-five years. What started with a missionary from South Africa, Dr. Rodney Howard Browne, has now become a movement of churches that are contending for a continuing move of the Holy Spirit around the world. We do not have "revival events" but revival as a lifestyle. our services are marked by the tangible Presence of the Lord and supernatural encounters. We long to see spiritual vitality restored to the Church with anointed preaching, teaching and demonstrations. Our cry is for a Great Awakening that will shake this nation and reverberate throughout our culture. Nothing more, nothing less and nothing else than the Spirit of the Lord touching His people and releasing the Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.
Our Pastors
Phillip and Evelyn Ward have been active in ministry for more than thirty-five years and have led our congregation since 2004. They were married in 1985 and have raised three sons and now have five grand children. Their dedication to the Lord, each other, their family and the ministry has established a foundation for a strong congregation with ministries for the whole family. They are gifted musicians and have authored many of the songs used in our worship services. They have a powerful anointing on their lives that is a blessing to our congregation. Phil is also a successful businessman leading a large healthcare organization in our community. Their lives are a testimony to the blessings and goodness of the Lord and is the foundation for their ministry to our local congregation.
The Greater Vision
Our pastors are ordained by Revival Ministries International in Tampa Florida and look to Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne as their pastors. Their lives were powerfully impacted by the ministry in revival meetings in 1994 and they continue to walk in relationship today. This connects our congregation with the larger vision and ministry that has seen more than 27 million decisions for Christ and we are partnering in the mission to see 100 million decisions. Our outreach teams are on the streets and nursing homes regularly where we are seeing thousands of lives changed each year. We welcome you to be a part of reaching this generation with the good news of Jesus!
