Our mission
We are a church for New Braunfels authentically experiencing and expressing God’s love in our lives and community.
Where we come from
River City Church began as a multi-site church planted by River City Community Church in Selma, Texas.
Jason and Natalie Powers felt a calling to transition out of their leadership roles at RCCC and take on full-time Lead Pastor positions at River City New Braunfels in 2012.
In January of 2013, RCNB became its own church starting with 80-100 people on Sundays and growing to a church of almost 1,000 members today.
Statement of faith
GOD
There is only one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere-present Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit— who is the creator and sustainer of all things. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5, 1 Timothy 2:5)
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for the sins of all mankind, was resurrected, and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father. He is coming again in power and glory for His believing followers and is the only Savior of mankind (John 1:1- 14 ; Titus 2:11-14)
HOLY SPIRIT
He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides and comforts the believers (John 16:7- 8, 12-15)
THE BIBLE
The Bible is the inerrant, divinely inspired Word of God and authoritative in all matters it addresses (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
SALVATION
Salvation is the result of genuine repentance of sin and faith in the atoning work of Christ. It brings forgiveness to the repentant, makes him a participant of the divine nature and gives peace with God. We call this new birth (Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3-5)
CHURCH
We believe in the invisible and universal Church as the living Body of Christ. It is composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus who have been vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord (Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:22-24)
ORDINANCES
We believe there are two Christian ordinances: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe they are outward rites appointed by Christ to be administered in each church, not as a means of salvation, but as a visible sign and seal of its reality (Acts 8:36; 1 Corinthians 11:24-34)
