We live by faith, not by sight.

Who We Are

For we live by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7 - NIV

A Joyful Fellowship of Faith, Hope & Love

Why We Gather

Not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other...

Hebrews 10:25 - VOICE


River Parishes Faith-Keepers™ (& guests) meet on the third Thursday of each month at 1905 to connect, encourage, celebrate, learn and share their faith, praise & joy through fellowship, song & worship. 

What We Celebrate

 "A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever.” 


When we Celebrate our Christian Life, we honor our unique heritage, culture and faith that made us who we are. We celebrate our family and friends who helped us create a lifetime of treasured memories. We celebrate the special people, who with unconditional love, unselfishly provided a shoulder for us to cry on and a hand-up when we had fallen down. We celebrate those who never judged us nor abandoned us even when they should have walked away.

When we Celebrate our Christian Life, we celebrate our life and the life of all who faithfully shared our journey in the good times and bad. 

But most of all we celebrate the miracles in our life by celebrating God's love

How We Strive to Live!

We have all fallen short, failed and made our share of mistakes. Yet as Christians, we are not defined by our past. We are defined by God to faithfully strive to live Christ-like.

  1. We faithfully strive to pray and read Scripture more often.
  2. We faithfully strive to act with integrity, truth, trust, loyalty and respect.
  3. We faithfully strive to listen with empathy and create effective dialogues.
  4. We faithfully strive to treat others the way we want to be treated.
  5. We faithfully strive to give joyfully and unconditionally without expecting anything in return.
  6. We faithfully strive to serve others with our time, talents and treasures.
  7. We faithfully strive to find common ground instead of prejudice and hatred.
  8. We faithfully strive to live a healthy lifestyle filled with compassion and love.
  9. We faithfully strive to be slow to anger and quick to forgiveness.
  10. We faithfully strive to avoid temptations and stay away from negative and evil people.
  11. We faithfully strive to see JESUS in the people we meet, even when they don't look or act like us.
  12. AND MOST OF ALL we faithfully strive to DO WHAT JESUS WOULD DO! DWJWD

DO WHAT JESUS WOULD DO / DWJWD

Several years ago, it was popular for Christians to wear wrist bands with the caption “WWJD” that stood for “What would Jesus do?” Although it prompted us to consider doing the right thing, it didn’t compel us to do the right thing. JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! DO IT THE LORD'S WAY!

"But just don't listen to God's Word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves."    James 1:22 - NLT
