Welcome to

The River Amherst...

A church in Amherst, Ohio. Everyone is welcome.

Sunday Celebration 10:30 am · 210 Cooper Foster Park Rd, Amherst OH

Bringing God's heavenly kingdom to earth.
Making passionate Christlike disciples.

That is our vision and our mission, in our own words. Whoever you are and whatever you carry, there is a place for you here.

You can expect to be warmly greeted.

No matter who you are and what you've done, we want you to feel welcomed. We don't think we are better than others. We all have messed up and we are on a journey together. Our church is not perfect.

We dress casual. Just be yourself.

Some come in jeans, others in khakis, a few gals in skirts. We meet together to encourage each other, hear God's Word, and put it into practice. We hope you will join us, and we will make it really hard for you to not feel accepted.
