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.
