1. Is your worship style traditional or contemporary? 

The River has a contemporary style of worship led by a praise band. We sing contemporary songs that speak to the heart of worship although we have been known to include a meaningful hymn from the rich tradition of that style of music.

2. Is there a children's and youth program during the Sunday morning service?

We have nurseries available for infants and walkers and children’s ministry for 2 1/2 years through 5th grade on Sundays during worship. Students 6th grade and above are encouraged to learn and worship in our morning service. Generate High School ministry meets on Sunday at 6:30 pm and Current Middle School Ministry meets on Wednesday at 6:30 pm. 

3. How often do you celebrate communion?

We celebrate the sacrament of communion once a month on the 1st Sunday.

4. Do you offer assistance to the community?

We have lots of different ways that we engage in caring for the community in and around Redlands. We have food ministries, volunteering opportunities, we work in our local schools, we provide opportunities for the homeless to be fed, shower and wash their clothes. Much of this information can be found on our We Serve Locally page.

We have operated a Celebrate Recovery program in the past, but we presently do not have group here at the River.  

6. What is GEMS/ Cadets? When do GEMS/CADETS meet?

The programs are for children 1st- 5th grade. GEMS and Cadets function throughout the school year and meet generally twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month.
