RiverLife Fellowship

When Paul closed his final letter to the Church at Corinth (2 Corinthians 13:14), he wasn't just signing off politely. His last words carried the heartbeat of everything he had written. This beautiful, heartfelt blessing wasn't a formula—it was a holy invitation into the fullness of the Triune God.    Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker explores the meaning for us in Paul's words...

Throughout Scripture, God calls His people to pay attention to the seasons because knowing the season helps us know what the Father is doing. During a season of the rising tide His presence and grace increase, drawing us closer, carrying us forward, and reshaping what's around us.    Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade teaches us to recognize the rising tide of God's Spirit and how to...

The Gospel is powerful! It's good news. Paul writes emphatically: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes." Do you know what makes the Gospel so powerful? Forgiveness. The Gospel begins with forgiveness. Without being reminded how much you have been forgiven, there is no way to powerfully share the Gospel.   Join us in Chapel...

God is love (1 John 4:8), and He also says, "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16). Love reveals God's heart; holiness reveals His purity. Love without holiness can dilute God's standards, while holiness without love can make Him seem strict. But together, love and holiness show the beauty of His nature—pure love that transforms us. True holiness is not rule-keeping; it comes from following Chris...

Our women are back from the annual Sojourn Women's Retreat! This year, the Lord was speaking about the lilies and the sparrows, and God's abundant provision for His children. While there, Pastor Mary shared about rest, and the necessity of the Sabbath cycles. True rest comes when we trust God enough to release control and let His love lead. When we live surrendered, we find freedom, peace, and str...

God invites us to draw near and taste the sweetness of His faithfulness. Honey from the rock that nourishes every generation. As we behold Him face to face, He renews our hearts, restores joy, and teaches us to rest in His loving care. Even in dry places, His revelation brings healing, creativity, and transformation.   Join us in Chapel Hill as Pastor Sarah Bollinger encourages us to discover that...

Our spiritual inheritance as a church is family. For more than 50 years, RiverLife has grown and been led through relationship. This is the Father's plan for all people from the beginning. And, we have an opportunity as a church family to shape the culture around us as we live out the challenged and joys of church family in our generation and the generations to come.   Join us in Mooresville as Pa...

As image-bearers and children of God, we have been tasked to do His work and steward His Kingdom on Earth. At times, it can be difficult to know how to do that. Jesus tackled this task in a way which was previously unknown to the nation of Israel. From his earliest works, Jesus acted based on what he saw the Father doing. We can learn from this revelation as we attempt to follow the example God se...

The Lord has given us each a revelation of His character and His kingdom. He has also given the Church a charge to steward that revelation for its members, and to tend to His sheep. The Lord has revelations He has placed within Gen Z to release to the broader church. How are we going to cultivate that revelation and steward its release?   Join us in Chapel Hill for Gen Z Sunday as guest speaker Wi...

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus encourages his followers to be wise and build their homes on solid rock, rather than on shifting sand. Peter adds to this idea in his first letter, by telling us that if Christ is our firm foundation, then we can be solid tock for those around us.    Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Cory Meade encourages us to use what we have been given by Christ in our wa...

Jesus is emphatic to the Pharisees when he tells them that he only does what he sees the Father doing (John 5). The torch is passed to us, his followers, as we get to be an example to the world. We have the privilege, through the way we live our lives, to make an impression on those around us, representing Christ to the world. Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Cory Meade grapples with the ten...
