Welcome to River of Life United Methodist Church! We are a growing church in the Fruit Cove - Julington Creek area. If you have ever dreamed of working with God to create a church, then this is the place for you! River of Life UMC is a place where all people are welcomed and embraced as we come together to worship God.

Our mission is to reach out to our community and world, to offer the message of Jesus Christ, and to live God's love in everything we do.

In the Gospel of John it says, "Out of the believers heart shall flow rivers of living water." We are creating a church where the living water offered to us by Jesus Christ will flow through our hearts, souls and lives out into the world for all to see. We want to invite you to join us in this adventure of faith.

This Sunday!

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Join us this Sunday for a great time of music, worship, and fellowship! Spending Sunday morning with God and your church family is the perfect way to get rejuvenated for the week to come…come take a drink of the living water Jesus offers and get completely refreshed!

In John 4:13-14 we read, “Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’”

May the hope, joy, and peace Jesus offers fill your hearts and lives and overflow into the world around you!
