She was born some several decades ago as The Church on Studebaker Road. She spent the majority of her youth on Studebaker Road in Norwalk, CA. She had her up’s and down’s but she continued to chug ahead. There was a time when she thought that she couldn’t do it anymore but a couple from South Africa came to rescue her.
Terry and Sandy Kreuger came to Norwalk, CA in May of 2000 to take over The Church on Studebaker Road. They immediately felt that they needed to change her name to River Church International, to close one chapter and begin a new one. The new chapter began as they nurtured her back to strength, back to the church that they felt God had called her to be.
During the time in Norwalk God did amazing and wonderful things with River Church. In this, we saw many people come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We have seen a number of churches planted out of River Church International, i.e. Steve and Deb in Chicago, Andrew and Sue in Denver and Adam and Van in Ensenada, Mexico. Her people have been very generous and have sowed into many different nations. Through her generosity, many nations have been impacted and many lives have been touched.
In September of 2005, she moved from a one-community church, to a multi- community church with the vision of being a church that can reach the whole of LA.
Current River Church Office: On the property of Southlands Christian School. 1924 S Brea Canyon Cutoff Rd Walnut, CA 91789. Shared office space with Southlands Church International and New Covenant Ministries International.
