Vision Statement 2025

Only Jesus: living with Jesus as our Lord & Saviour...our teacher...our role model.

  • I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

    — John 14: 6 —

  • For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

    — Luke 19: 10 —

  • The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.

    — Luke 6: 40 —

  • Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

    — John 2: 6 —

  • No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

    — Luke 16: 13 —

  • The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

    — John 10: 10 —

  • Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

    — John 14: 12 —

  • Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

    — Matthew 7: 24-25 —

God’s Promises for River of Life Church

  • “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your supplies ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’”

    — Joshua 1: 11 —

  • “Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband, says the Lord. “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

    — Isaiah 54: 1-3 —

  • "The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “O Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

    — Ezekiel 37: 1-6 —

  • ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace, declares the Lord Almighty.”

    — Haggai 2: 9 —

STATEMENT OF BELIEF

We believe in:

  1. The one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons in unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  2. The Divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scripture.

  3. The original perfection of creation; the inherent corruptness of humanity through the Fall; the  necessity of repentance and
    regeneration by grace and through faith in Christ alone, and the eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant.

  4. The virgin Birth, sinless life atoning death, triumphant Resurrection, ascension and continuing  intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ,
    His Second Coming, and eternal Kingdom reign.

  5. The justification and sanctification of believers through the finished work of Christ, their security  as they remain in Him, and their
    future resurrection in an incorruptible body.

  6. The Sacrament of Baptism by immersion, and of the Lord's Supper.

  7. The baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with supernatural signs, empowering the Church for its  mission in the world.

  8. The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the Church and ministry to the world.

  9. Christ's leadership of the Church through the ascension ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the
    unity, maturity and growth of the Church.

  10. The privilege and responsibility of wise stewardship of all that God has given, including the practice of tithing to the local church.
