River Church

About this church

River Church in Tuscaloosa gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:10 a.m. in a service titled "Winning Everyday," which opens with a praise service followed by teaching from the pastor. A midweek service called "Equipping the Saints" meets Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. The church says it prays for the sick in every service. The congregation began in 1997 as Word of Life Family Church and took the River Church name in 2012. It works in partnership with Billings Ministries, which manages the pastor's teaching and media libraries.

Children are served through River Babies/Toddlers (birth to 48 months) and River Kids (age 4 through fifth grade). Kids sit with their families until they are dismissed after the praise service. Adult groups include Valor Men, which the events page lists for the second Monday evening of the month, and Virtue Women, listed for the fourth Monday. Meeting details can change, so confirm on the events calendar. Services are livestreamed and archived on the church's Facebook page and website, and Wednesday services have sometimes been online-only, so check before attending midweek. The church is at 609 40th Street, about a quarter mile north of Academy Sports on Greensboro Avenue and across the street from Springhill Suites.
