The heart

At The River Ukiah, everything we do flows from our passion to see lives transformed by Jesus. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to REACH the lost, REFRESH the weary, and RESTORE the broken. We long to be a place where people encounter God’s love, find authentic community, and experience lasting hope.

building for the future

We believe God is calling us to make room for more lives to be changed. This isn’t just about expanding a building—it’s about expanding His Kingdom. By stepping out in faith and building for the future, we’re creating spaces where more people in our city and beyond can discover the grace and purpose found only in Christ.

Partner with us

We can’t do this alone. It will take all of us praying, serving, and giving generously to see this vision come to life. Would you prayerfully consider how you might financially partner with us to help make this dream a reality? Together, we can build something that will impact generations to come. The church isn’t a place you sit in—it’s a people you stand with. We stand together to make room for the next family who walks through our doors, the next generation learning to follow Jesus, and the next story of restoration. Our facility is a tool for ministry, and we want to steward it with vision and wisdom.

WHY WE CAN’T STAY HERE!

WEEKEND CAPACITY IS TIGHT. Seating, flow, and hospitality are limited. Every guest should feel welcomed, never crowded.
KIDS AND FAMILIES NEED ROOM TO GROW. We’re creating secure, welcoming environments for discipleship.
PARKING AND EVENTS ARE CONSTRAINED. A better lot unlocks larger gatherings, baptisms, and community outreach.

HOW YOU CAN PARTNER

PROJECTED TIMELINE*

We’re inviting everyone to pray, serve, and give above the tithe through strategic generosity. Every gift moves us forward.

Faqs

Why start with the sanctuary expansion?
Removing the west wall adds much-needed seating right away, helping us welcome more people now while we prepare for future phases.
How will funds be used?
Designated gifts go directly to project phases—sanctuary expansion first, parking/event space second, and then the new facility.
Is this above the tithe?
Yes. We’re asking for strategic giving above regular tithes so we can build without slowing ongoing ministry.
Can I change my pledge later?
Absolutely. Commitments are good-faith estimates and can be updated anytime as circumstances change.
Are there non-financial ways to help?
Yes—pray, volunteer, offer skilled labor, donate materials, and check on employer gift-matching.

WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER

Let’s build a house where people meet Jesus. A space where every prayer offered, every hour served, and every dollar given is a brick of hope that ensures future generations will continue to experience the goodness of God.
