Looking for Charter Members!!!

Well the news is out and the excitement is building! Johnston River of Life will be a New Chartered Congregation of the United Methodist Church on Easter of 2018.  We have been dreaming and building up to this point and are excited to say that the road forward has become clear and certain.

Our Mission Statement sets a clear path for us. “Being Christ in Community,” is a clear directive for every member to be a missional presence in the community and the world.

• We do not have a Church building, but we are prayerfully looking for a space that would provide a unique means of serving the community 7 days a week.  (If you are a dreamer we want to hear your ideas)
• We don’t have a large congregation yet, but we do have some of the most transparent and real relationships. (If you want to meet people who you can share your good and bad days with – look no further)
• We do as much service as we do worship. (If you think the Christian life should be lived in service – come and find out how you can get involved)
• We believe faith is about a journey that we are all on together.

We have an amazing team with a diverse set of gifts who empower and raise up other leaders. We have an exciting and growing number of children and families.  We are so blessed by a church community that is positive, supportive, encouraging, and focused on the mission.

That being said, I personally invite you to come and be a part of this amazing team.  Make a difference in your community and in the world.

• Attend a Life group, build supportive relationships and grow in your faith.
• Get your kids involved in H2GO (Hearts 2 Hear God, Hands 2 Help Others)
• Join a service team and help in the community
• Participate in worship or join the praise team
• Sign up for a mission trip or a Habitat Project
• Attend training events or special retreat weekends

We have a couple months in front of us that are filled with exciting activities.  If you are looking for a new faith community, now is the time to stop in and see what we are all about. Join us at any of the following:

Friday February 16th 6 PM – @ Crown Point in Johnston – Celebration of Ministries. 

Come and celebrate with us all the ways that we are already serving our community and developing disciples. If you are looking for way to get involved and get connected, this is a great resource event.
