When I found out that Shannon O’Dell was writing a book, I couldn’t wait to get it and read it! I met Shannon a couple of times and from the moment I met him and talked with him, I was totally impressed! This guy is the real deal and is doing life changing ministry in a creative way in Rural America!
Being a pastor in a rural community has its own unique challenges and issues.  This book has rocked my world, and if you are planting or pastoring a church in …

Yes, we experienced an incredible Easter weekend, and now let’s press on toward this weekend. Why? Because Jesus is Alive and there are still people that need to be reached. I’m excited about this weekend because we’re beginning a new series. No, …

Here’s some pics of our new building! More to come!

The New Testament makes it clear that it is God’s will for every person to grow up and become spiritually mature. It is also clear that spiritual maturity doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a journey that we’ll be engaged in for the rest of our lives. These gatherings are designed to help you take the next steps in your spiritual growth. There are all kinds of habits we need to develop as we grow to spiritual maturity. We’ll focus on the habits and skills that are foundational to the life of …

I want to encourage and challenge everyone that attends RiverPoint Church to continue to pray about what you might give towards our Drive Challenge. Once you’ve prayed about it, and God has told you what to give…then go for it!
This year, our Drive Offering will go toward our vision to make an impact on our community year round. We look forward to the day when God will provide for us a permanent location, starting other churches, as well as increasing our mission opportunities throughout the year. Your contribution to the …

Entirely on their own, 4they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. 5And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the …

I’ve been doing a lot of praying this week about the RiverPoint attenders and our High Octane Challenge. At first I was thinking, “Man, this is too much. Our people will never be able to do all of this.” Then it hit me! Our people aren’t doing anything. Jesus IS! He is moving and allowing us to see major life change each week! Those that have already made commitments did so because Jesus changed their life and told them to do so! I believe that if we are Followers of …

There’s a HUGE amount of excitement right now at RiverPoint Church! I love where God is taking us and how we are planning to get there. We are praying, planning and preparing for God to lead us every step of the way. Yesterday I was able to meet with four different people to hear their stories of life change. I was blown away at the amount of faith and obedience each person shared with me. Hearing their stories gave me a huge boost knowing that God is doing a great …
