Meet Our Pastors & Staff

Jason & Natalie Powers

Jason serves as Lead Pastor of River City Church, providing teaching, vision, and leadership for the church as a whole.

Jason grew up around the church in San Antonio and attended Abilene Christian University, where he played baseball. During college, he walked away from the faith he had grown up with and spent much of the next decade searching for meaning and truth apart from God. That journey ultimately led him back to Jesus and shaped the way he understands grace, restoration, and the transforming love of God.

Jason later joined the staff of River City Community Church in San Antonio, where he served for 10 years in a variety of ministry roles, including Youth Pastor, Small Groups Pastor, Minister of Spiritual Formation, and Campus Pastor. It was there that he met Natalie, who was also serving on staff as Worship Director.

In 2012, Jason and Natalie sensed God leading them into a new season. With the support and guidance of their church leadership, they moved to New Braunfels and launched River City Church in 2013.

Today, Jason and Natalie both serve on staff at River City as they continue pursuing the vision God gave them: to be a church for New Braunfels, helping people authentically experience and express God’s love in their lives and community.

Jason and Natalie have three children, Jackson, Reagan, and Madison.
