The River Community Church

Pastor Steve’s sermons are so real, informative, helpful, fun, encouraging, inspiring and energetic. The world needs Jesus and thankfully He is here. So much fun to see baptisms. Easy to connect with men’s groups, small groups and meet people. Dean, Kristy and Paul are such good people and I recommend meeting them. Worship music, great singing, guitars, with Ethan and the crew are fantastic and hit you with such good feels 😀

The River has been a blessing to me and my family. If you visit this church it’s likely that this will literally be the best worship music and sermons you’ve heard in your life. I’ve been to a lot of churches in my life, and I’m not exaggerating. God really is working through this church. When Pastor Steve speaks you can feel how much he has a heart to reach the lost through Jesus. I really appreciate how down to earth and approachable he is.
The kids church is great too. Our kids seem to love going to church which is not how I felt about going to church when I was a child! 😆

Gosh, where do I start! :) My husband, our son and I moved here from Illinois. We have been looking for the right church since we got here. The overwhelming warmth we felt in this church was incredible! From the people opening the door to the building, to the greeters for new comers. They had FREE coffee, lemonade, tea, water and donuts. We were greeted with Good morning from several people. We had such a warm welcome and not overwhelming. We feel very blessed to have found this family.

Genuine, caring people who are impacting our community one by one. Worship team, pastors, staff, all very "real" and love Jesus, love people.

Extremely wonderful and caring people. My family and I felt welcome, and not pressured to join immediately. I would recommend any new comer to the Cookeville area to come by and listen to the sermon and meet the the congregation. Awesome place for kids as well. Good security and very loving volunteers that REALLY care about them.

Recently I have been trying out several different churches in the area trying to find one that I feel comfortable at and like I belong there. I have finally found one and can stop searching! They are so friendly and welcoming to everybody, especially new members and they make you feel right at home. If you haven’t tried this church out yet I would highly recommend!!

This church makes me feel so happy every time your driving on the interstate or anywhere in that area you can see a big giant cross everytime I look at the cross it makes me feel very joyful because it reminds me that Jesus died for us to wash away our sins this church is the best church in Cookeville the staff and pastor is very nice and welcoming me and my family watch this church on tv due to Covid and I feel so happy that I am apart of the community the first time me and my family started going to this church it sent us a box with a ball that we could play with and another thing this church makes me be a better person and pulls me toward God every Sunday I love this church and hope my family and I eventually get to come back :D Blessings!!

This is such a friendly and welcoming church. Dress casually and comfortably and hear wonderfully inspiring messages from the Word of God. There are so many options for people of all ages too. This is a great church to be a part of. Check them out on Facebook.

The family of the River Community Church show their love for Jesus, open up about their every day life, and reach out to the community with events. They have a great way of having fun, sharing the love of Christ, and drawing the community with their services.

Like coming home to family the first time I went, and better every time when you get connected. Loving people living real, and loving them God's way in Bible based truth.

This is the best church ever! If you want a place where people are rooted in Christ and share the Word this is the place for you. Love God, Love People, Impact the World!

This church is almost too good to be true. Steve Tiebout is amazing and this church will become a second family.
