ABOUT THE CHURCH:
River of Life Christian Center is a non-denominational church located on Washington Avenue in Urbana, Ohio. On Easter Sunday 1993, Pastor Dan Leiker and his wife Tammy shared their first sermon as the new pastors of ROLCC. Through the blessings of God, over the years, our campus has grown. At the start of the millennium, we moved into our new building that now holds a sanctuary, coffee shop, children’s classrooms and staff offices.
One of the greatest strengths of River of Life Christian Center is our “body”. The people who make up our congregation have an unwavering loyalty to serve. The commitment they have made to serve the community has shown over the years, and has become a cornerstone of who we are as a church today.
WHAT WE BELIEVE:
• Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world.
• Salvation is the gift of God to man through faith in Jesus Christ.
• The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life.
• Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only.
• The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift and is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.
• We believe in sanctification, which is living a life of holiness.
• Healing is the privilege of every member of the Church today provided through Jesus’ death on the Cross.
• Jesus will return and “. . . The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air . . .” (1 Thess. 4:16–17).”
• The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is eternally lost and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting.
