Service Times and Directions River of Life Fellowship Rockwall Pastors Scott and Sandy Boyd
Sandy and I want to welcome everyone to come worship with us at River of Life Fellowship on Saturday nights 6pm. God is pouring out his Spirit in an awesome and precious way. We are a church that have a heart for the lost, being a loving family, having powerful and effective youth and children's ministries, and seeing God transform lives by the power of his word and the power of his Spirit.
River of Life Fellowship: What does church mean?
Depending on how you grew up, how your family spent Sunday mornings, the people you knew and religion around you, the TV and movies you took in, your friends and the books you read, conversations and life experiences....depending on a host of things from your past, the word "church," to you could mean a lot of different things. We at River of Life want to have a church that is what God has intended to be. We desire the church to be a loving family, a place to literally encountering the living Christ, a place of spiritual growth, and a place of power. Beyond the cliche's and the obvious....beyond steeples, preachers, Sunday School, and hymns, God desires a church to be who He is: loving, untamed, resilient, freeing, healing, stepping out in faith, peace-giving, grace filled, ennobling, disturbing, encompassing, merciful, filling, safe, stretching, grounding, infectious, life overhauling, ever-new and refreshing. People should have confidence in their church that when they are going through something, they can come to church and see God move in their lives to bring miraculous change.
In River of Life our emphasis in ministry is Ephesians 4:11-16. We desire to see everyone begin to move into all God has called them to be. We are making room for a move of God and stepping out of the way so that the Holy Spirit can have his way to change lives and bring glory to Jesus.
In a very practical sense, River of Life has a strong emphasis on ministering to Children and Youth. River of Life also has discipleship in place for all age groups that will help everyone grow in Christ. We are praying to be a part of seeing the people of the nations discipled, equipped, and empowered into their destinies in Christ. There is a strong teaching ministry within River of Life as well that helps people learn how to live out the word of God in their everyday lives.

"Let's tear down every satanic stronghold and press into this end-time anointing."
Sandy Boyd is the Children's Pastor and has an incredible ability to teach children the word of God. She also is an anointed intercessor and helps in almost all aspects of the church. She is involved in too many things to list here, but she is a very vital part of this ministry.
Joey and Ashlie Stanbery are assets to this ministry. Joey and Ashlie are the youth pastors of The Gathering Youth Ministries . They also oversee all evangelism. Currently Joey leads a team of street evangelists in hard core street evangelism. Many are giving their lives to Christ on a consistent basis. They also have a powerful ministry of Praise and Worship together and leading prayer meetings. Ashlie is a very anointed praise and worship leader and also helps some with the children's ministry. Joey is also an Elder that oversees all ministry to the younger generation. His eldership also invovles all forms of evangelism and outreach. They are also cell leaders as the need arises.
The Gathering is a ministry birthed out of River of Life reaching out to our younger generation with the fires of revival. Joey and Ashlie have been winning so many young people to the Lord in Street Evangelism that it was necessary to start a Friday night service gearing toward reaching the unreached young people of Rockwall. Each Friday night service begins at 7:14pm. Contact our ministry for more
information.
Gene and Diane Boyd are also great assets to this ministry. Gene Boyd serves as an Elder of the church. Diane Boyd is a powerful intercessor. They lead a Cell Group and are powerful ministers of the word. Their wisdom and leadership is a very powerful and important part of this ministry.
Zach and Wendy Jones are also great assets and leaders of this ministry. Zach has a very powerful gift of teaching and is an Elder of this ministry that oversees all discipleship. They are currently overseeing the Cell Group ministry, discipling of young believers, and various classes taught throughout the ministry. Wendy is a prayer warrior and flows powerfully in the prophetic. They are a poweful team that operate powerfully in the anointing. You can connect with Zach on Facebook to be involved in the weekly devotionals he is putting out.
Jill is our head intercessor. This ministry puts a large emphasis on prayer, evangelism, and discipleship. We realize that without prayer and fasting any ministry would not be as effective as it could be. Jill has a very powerful intercessory calling. Her contribution to this ministry is very valuable. She helps lead prayer in various aspects. Currently we have a ministry called Watchmen that incorporates individual prayer and fasting throughout the church. This ministry has resulted in prayer and fasting going up in unity everyday of the week as volunteers cover a day of the week. Also we meet weekly on Tuesday nights for corporate prayer meetings. Every Saturday before service doors are open and all our prayer warriors come early to service to intercede.
