Position Statements
At our annual meeting, on Sunday December 7th, we will voting to adopt 2 position statements to our church doctrine. These statements are not new in the sense of additional or alternative teaching to what most of you are used to from the pulpit at River. Instead, they are some of our core teachings that are already being communicated.
With that in mind, your River Leadership Team is recommending to amend our current doctrinal statement to better reflect who we are and what we believe on these specific issues. We believe this will help keep unity in the church and assist those outside our church to better understand some of our beliefs on some key issues and topics.
I am asking all members to print and read through these position statements and e-mail me with any questions or comments as soon as possible. All potential future members should also read through these to get a better understanding of our doctrinal stance on these important subjects.
