OUR MISSION
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.Matthew 28:19–20 · The Great Commission
The mission of The River Christian Fellowship is to go, make disciples, teach, and obey Jesus through the empowering of the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus Christ. We pursue this through faithful biblical preaching, community outreach, home fellowships, and a commitment to both personal and corporate transformation in Christ.
Who we are
The River Christian Fellowship
A non-denominational church in Twin Falls, Idaho. We teach through the entire Bible — Genesis to Revelation — verse by verse. Every sermon is Christ-centered and the Gospel is taught every service.
"Every word of Scripture is alive and relevant — so we teach all of it, together. If you're looking for a place to dig deep and belong, you've found it."

What we believe
Scripture
The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God, fully inspired without error in the original manuscripts, and the infallible rule of faith and practice.
God the Father
An infinite, personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; He hears and answers prayer, and saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
God's only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in his virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and personal, visible return to earth.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit came to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify and empower for ministry all who believe in Christ. All gifts of the Spirit are valued.
The Church
The living spiritual body of which Christ is the Head and all regenerated persons are members — called to go, make disciples, teach, and obey Jesus together.
Baptism & Communion
We practice baptism by immersion and hold communion open to all believers, celebrating on the first Sunday of each month.
