River Men and River Women

Growth for the
Whole Body

The River is a family of believers centered on our love for Jesus Christ. Whether you've been a part of the family for some time or want to plan a visit, we welcome you and encourage you to connect with one of our weekly groups for men, women, and the whole family!

The River Women

The River is devoted to discipling, equipping, and empowering women to walk in their kingdom purpose and develop meaningful relationships with other sisters in Christ. It is our mission to lead women, from both our church family and our community, into a deeper walk with their Savior.

Whether it’s through our midweek Bible studies, Women’s coffee and devotional hour, paint and pray events, or other women’s events and retreats - there is a place for you to connect with other Kingdom-minded women in and around Mount Desert Island!

The River Men

The River is devoted to discipling, equipping, and empowering men to walk in their kingdom purpose and develop meaningful relationships with other brothers in Christ. It is our mission to lead men into a deeper walk with their Savior.

The River Men meet weekly throughout the year for a men’s breakfast and Bible study. Other events include quarterly Bible studies and group outings to foster genuine connection with our brothers around us.

The River Family

Whether you’re new to the Island, been here a while, single, or have a family, there is always a place for you at The River! Our family invites you to join us for events throughout the week that foster friendship and community - through weekly Bible Studies, home groups, and more there’s always a place for you to get connected!
