I'm an enthusiastic member of this church! It's full of life and love, and passionate about impacting the local community in practical, positive ways. Our meetings are informal and laid back compared to a traditional church, but at the same time can be very challenging too. The music is contemporary and high quality, with guitars, keyboards and drums. read more

Here are just a few of the things that we stand for and promote:
The Goodness of God: He loves giving good gifts and everything good ultimately comes from Him.
The Openness of God: He is open and relational, and wants to guide your decisions, not force you to make pre-determined choices.
The Love of God - God is, above all else, love. He loves before he does anything else. He loves you - full stop.
The Dynamic Power of God - God is dynamically and creatively powerful. He loves to do the impossible and change the unchangeable.
If you want to encounter this God for yourself - Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit - then come along to one of our weekly Sunday Meetings. Everyone is welcome.
History
Established in 1970.
River Church started in the 70's with a group of young people and has grown steadily to the four churches we have today. We are non-denominational, a part of the Pioneer Network of churches and a member of the Evangelical Alliance. We meet in Maidenhead, Marlow, Slough and Englefield Green.
Meet the Manager: Colin B.
Colin is the leader of the River Church network. He came to know God as a young man when a friend bought him a Bible. After reading the Sermon on the Mount, he cried out to God and found He treats people better than they deserve. That was the beginning of discovering that God is love. Since then he has enjoyed telling others this wonderful news and helping them find joy through faith in Christ. Before leading River, he spent a year on mission in Nepal with his family, setting up a Bible training centre in the foothills of the Himalayas to train leaders for a network of 100s of churches. The apostles of that region said his teaching brought revival to their people. He is married to Sadie, has three children and enjoys camping and walking in high places.
