Our Church
The Lord began to deal with the heart of our Pastor December 2009 on answering the call into the pastoral ministry. After much prayer and prophetic confirmation, River of Life Church was founded in May 2010. The first service was held in the home of Cedrick & Shakeva as the power of god was present to confirm the assignment. In August 2010 the Lord graced River of Life with it’s first commercial location on 1st street. The building was remolded before the first service was held. ROLC remolded again in 2013 as growth began to occur. We saw the hand of God move as we facilitated various community outreach projects such as youth rallys, women conferences, revivals, marriage conferences, street evangelism and much more. River of Life occupied its downtown location for 10 years. In October 2019, ROLC was graced with its current location four months before the global pandemic known as COVID-19. Work began immediately to beautify the sanctuary as our first service took place the week before Christmas.
