What to Expect

  • When is service?

    We gather every Sunday morning from 10–11:30am at both campuses.


    Services typically last 75–90 minutes and include worship, prayer, Scripture, teaching, and opportunities to participate together.

  • Do I need to let you know I'm coming?

    Nope! There's no need to register or tell us you're coming. Just show up. We'll be glad to meet you.

  • Where do I park?

    With more than 100 spaces, there's plenty of parking in our lot.


    The main entrance is right next to the lot. Just park, come on in, and make yourself at home.

  • What should I wear?

    Whatever you're comfortable in. Most people dress casually—jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, and sneakers are completely normal. You won't stand out for dressing up or dressing down.


    We never want clothing, hair color, tattoos, or anything else about your appearance to get in the way of encountering God at RiverLife.

  • What about my kids?

    Kids are an important part of RiverLife, not just something we accommodate. We begin every service with 10–15 minutes of Family Worship, when kids, youth, and adults worship together as one church family.


    If your kids want to join Riverkids, stop by the Riverkids Check-In station in the lobby before service. After Family Worship, kids are dismissed to the nursery and age-appropriate classes.


    If your kids stay with you during service, don't worry about a little noise or movement. We welcome the sights, sounds, and energy of kids in the sanctuary.

  • What about my teenagers?

    Youth start in service with everyone during Family Worship and are then dismissed to their own youth gathering.


    Our primary Thrive Youth gathering, Plug'd, meets Friday nights from 6–9pm.


  • What is a typical service like?

    Expect a relaxed, contemporary service with worship, prayer, Scripture, and practical biblical teaching.

    We believe church was never meant to be a spectator sport. Some weeks we sit in rows; other weeks we gather around tables.

    Either way, we create opportunities to pray together, read Scripture aloud, discuss questions with others, and respond to what God is doing.

  • Do I need to be Hmong to attend?

    Not at all! We're proud to be a Hmong church, but you don't need to be Hmong to belong here.


    Our services are in English, and people from every cultural background are welcome to participate fully in the life of our church.

  • What denomination are you?

    RiverLife is part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance, a global family of churches centered on Jesus and committed to sharing his love with the world.


    We're part of the North Central District, our regional Alliance district, and value the close relationships we're able to have with local district leadership.

  • Will I be asked to give money?

    We provide an opportunity for people who call RiverLife home to give, but please don't feel any obligation or pressure to give.


    Your presence is enough. As our guest, we'd rather you receive from us.

  • What if I'm new to church or not sure what I believe?

    You're absolutely welcome here. You don't need to have Christianity figured out—or even be sure what you believe—to come, ask questions, build relationships, and explore faith with us.


    Come as you are and take things at your own pace.
