RiverLife Church

The LAB is a place where we experiment with both new and old ideas that will lead us toward fresh discoveries and applications. The LAB is a place where we leverage the power of collaboration by acknowledging what we don’t know and embracing the challenge of learning together. The LAB is a place for people who want to grow deeper in their discipleship of Jesus and who want their lives and ministries to be marked by the development of deep disciples.
