What to Expect

What time should I arrive?

The service officially begins at 10:00am, however we suggest arriving early, 10-15 minutes, to enjoy coffee, to find a seat, and to get acquainted and fellowship.

What should I wear?

Expect others to be dressed in relaxed Sunday dress or business casual, such as ladies in pants, and men without ties. However, as Jesus welcomed, we say please just come as you! Come as you are!

What about my kids?

Our worship time is for families. Your kids are welcome to fly flags, dance, sing outloud…whatever you encourage is best.

Following worship, the children are invited to go to “Kingdom Kidz Zone”, where they will enjoy and receive their own ministry of exciting, hands-on learning experiences. Your children will be enjoy crafts, games (sometimes outdoors), drama, a memory verse, and a snack. Most importantly, they will be loved and will grow to know God more deeply.

How long is the service?

The Sunday Morning Service begins at 10:00am and generally ends around 12pm.

What is the service like?

Because worship is so vital to who we are at River of Life and what God is accomplishing in hearts, we begin the service with a Spirit-led time of praise and worship music. This can be approximately 30-45 minutes depending on the ways Father God chooses to communicate with us during this time. There have been times of lingering where He gives prophecy, words of knowledge, a word in tongues (or another language) with Biblical interpretation following. So, we try to give Him a chance to speak, not just us doing all the “talking!” We invite all to relax in worship, to do so as you feel free. Some stand, some sit, kneel, wave flags, meditate on the words being sung, pray, listen to the Lord, dance…it’s all welcome in relationship with the Father!

Following worship, we share a public sharing time of praise reports and prayer requests, followed by intercessory prayer and laying on of hands for those that desire.
Pastor Mark, then shares a powerful and relevant message, followed by a worship response song and more ministry as the Lord leads.

One of our many emerging mottos at RoL…”as the Lord leads.”

Children will remain in their classroom(s) until picked up after the closing song. Childcare, upon being notified, will continue if ministry for parents is desired.
