Our Story, Mission & Vision

Rivercourt International Church is a purpose-driven, multicultural and strategic church committed to fulfilling the Great Commission. Rooted in the truth and authority of God’s Word, we exist to win souls, demonstrate the love of Christ, and build a community where people from every background can worship, grow and discover their God-given purpose.

Our mission is to raise disciples, equip leaders for this and the next generation, and send believers into the world empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about prayer, dynamic worship, community outreach, and creating an environment where lives are transformed, gifts are discovered, and destinies are released.

Our vision is to see a global, Spirit-filled church made of people from every nation—united in Christ, serving together in love, and reflecting the heart of God. We believe in the Trinity, the saving power of Jesus’ blood, the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of Christ’s return. Everything we do is to glorify Jesus and bring His Gospel to our world.

Head Pastor of Rivercourt Church

A Message from Our Head Pastor.

"Welcome to Rivercourt Int. Church. What a great joy it is to welcome you to our vibrant family church. We are grateful to God for the loving people he has sent to us. You’ll discover that our passion is to provide a place where people can grow, be cared for and have a life-changing experience with God. Here at Rivercourt Church, our doors are wide open to people from all walks of life regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey. We believe that spiritual growth is a process and not instantaneous. We admit we need God and each other to fulfill our God given destinies. As we seek to spread this year as a church, it is my prayer that you will discern the heart of God in this end time and co-labor with Him for a great harvest for His kingdom advancement.

Ministries for All Ages

We have dedicated spaces for the next generation to grow in their faith and have fun doing it.

Through engaging discussions, worship, mentoring, and practical life lessons, our teens learn how to live boldly for God.

Our Goals

  • Build a strong spiritual foundation through teaching and discipleship.
  • Create a safe environment where teens feel valued and heard.
  • Develop leadership, responsibility, and a heart for service.
  • Encourage a personal relationship with Jesus and godly character.

Kids Ministry

RIC Kids

Our Kids Ministry is a joyful, safe, and nurturing environment where children learn about Jesus in fun and interactive ways. We believe in planting seeds of faith early, just as Proverbs 22:6 instructs:“Train up a child in the way he should go…”. Through songs, stories, crafts, and activities, we help children understand God’s love in simple and meaningful ways.

Our Goals

  • Teach foundational Bible principles (2 Timothy 3:15 – “...the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise…”).
  • Help kids understand God’s love, kindness, and purpose for them.
  • Partner with parents to support children’s spiritual growth (Deuteronomy 6:6–7).
  • Create a safe, joyful environment where every child feels valued and seen.
