About Our Leadership

Pastors Steve and Tracey came to The River in February 2023. Originally from Wallace, Idaho Steve is a passionate visionary with a heart for the people of North Idaho. Beginning his career in management helped to hone his leadership gifting. His goal at The River is to lead people into a loving and life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ by building servant leaders, reaching the lost, and helping others discover and fulfill the call of God on their lives. 

Steve and Tracey have a heart for adoption and foster care ministries. They have four adopted children at home- Gabriel, Moriah, Israel, and Ezekiel and hope to continue to foster and adopt for the rest of their lives. 

Since Steve and Tracey have four children, they have no spare time, but when they do you will find them watching the Dallas Cowboys win, playing board games with their family, smoking ribs, and dreaming of visiting Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland.

About Our Kids Ministry

We believe that children are a treasure from the Lord. Here at The River Church, we want your kids to be safe, make friends, and have fun. We aim to take every opportunity to interact with and teach children about Jesus. Leaders lead by example and show the abundant love of Jesus.

About Our Beliefs

  • The One True God

    The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • The Fall of Man

    Man was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness." However, man by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.

  • The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

    The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. The Scriptures declare: His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary work on the cross, His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His exaltation to the right hand of God.

  • The Blessed Hope

    The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord is the imminent and blessed hope of the church.

  • The Salvation of Man

    Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

  • Sanctification

    Sanctification is realized in the believer by recognizing his identification with Christ in His death and resurrection, and by the faith reckoning daily upon the fact of that union, and by offering every faculty continually to the dominion of the Holy Spirit.

  • The Scriptures Inspired

    The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

  • The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • The Church and its Mission

    The Church and its Mission

    1. To be an agency of God for evangelizing the world, 2. To be a corporate body in which man may worship God, 3. To be a channel of God’s purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son, and 4. To be a people who demonstrate God’s love and compassion for all the world.

  • Divine Healing

    Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.

  • The Ordinances of the Church

    The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. The Lord's Supper, likewise.

  • The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

    The baptism of believers in the Holy Spirit is witnessed by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.

  • The Ministry

    1. Evangelization of the world, 2. Worship of God, 3. Building a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son, and 4. Meeting human need with ministries of love and compassion.

  • The Millennial Reign of Christ

    The second coming of Christ includes the rapture of the saints, which is our blessed hope, followed by the visible return of Christ with His saints to reign on earth for one thousand years.

  • The Final Judgement

    There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophet, will be consigned to the everlasting punishment in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

  • The New Heaven and the New Earth

    “We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth where righteousness dwells.”
