Next Steps at The River
Now that you’ve decided that The River may be the church for you there are several steps you can take to get to know the church and those who call The River home. We love to share with others about The River so don't hesitate to ask lots of questions.
Discover The River
Discover The River is a class that Pastor Mike leads for those who are interested in The River. He gives an overview of the Wesleyan Church as a denomination and The River Church here in Roxana. He provides information about the staff, the ministries, and life in general at The River.
This class is a good place to meet others who are also interested in The River. It's a time to get to know Paster Mike and ask him questions about The River. This class is for those who are interested in becoming a member of The River; it is also for those who just want to learn more about The River before they can make a decision about becoming a member.
Discover Youth and Kids Groups
Have your children visit the River Kids group and the Youth Momentum group and see how they like them.
