What We Believe

God

We believe that God exists eternally as three persons and that these, being one God, are equal in deity, power and glory.

Jesus

We believe that Jesus is God incarnate; born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life, and offered Himself as a sacrifice for all.

Holy Spirit

We believe that all who put faith in Jesus Christ are given the Holy Spirit who equips us for godly living and service.

The Bible

We believe the Bible is God inspired and is our final authority for all we believe and how we are to live.

More Beliefs

Our History

In 1985, a small group of friends met at a home in the Mooresville area for a weekly bible study and time of fellowship, starting what now is RiverLife Fellowship.

Additional Campuses

RiverLife Chapel Hill

RiverLife Chapel Hill exists to establish a place to encounter God’s Presence and to equip people to bring Heaven to earth. Our heart is for the nations to experience the glory of God revealed through His people. With an outreach to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we are a family-church birthed in 2014 that is growing in God’s grace, goodness and likeness. We desire to see the Kingdom of Heaven come to Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill.

RiverLife Wilmington

RiverLife Wilmington started meeting monthly in January 2023 and fully launched with weekly services starting in January 2024. RiverLife Wilmington’s vision is to host a diverse church body that encounters the love and presence of the Father, grace of Jesus, and fullness of the Holy Spirit. Those encounters lead to radically changed and filled lives and a people who are activated into their identity and callings and carry the Presence and Kingdom of God into the city of Wilmington and beyond.
