Shattered: Surviving & Thriving After the Worst Pains of Life

River Corner Church

On January 7, Rip Wahlberg preached on Shattered: Surviving & Thriving After the Worst Pains of Life, as he conveyed the tragic narrative of his journey through mourning following the tragic drowning accident that claimed his son's life. Through this harrowing experience, he learned the significance of inviting God into our moments of distress and permitting God's intervention to guide and transform our pain.
Who we are together.
River Corner Church is a growing church community of everyday people who gather to worship God, follow Jesus, and journey through life together.
What we practice together.
Our small church community is uniquely caring, simple, laid-back, and intergenerational. As a church, we want to be a welcoming, safe, and healing community for those who are seeking, hurting, or need a place to belong. Our practices are contemplative (reflective) charismatic (Spirit-driven), conversational, and informative. The times we share together are intentional and intimate, and a mix between modern and traditional. We want to be a place in which love and honor are lived out, where humility is central, and where hospitality is woven into the threads of our community. There is room at the table.
When we gather together.
River Corner Church gathers weekly on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM to worship and experience God, study the scriptures, journey through life together, and partner with the Holy Spirit. We meet in a simple worship meeting house at 524 River Corner Road in Conestoga, Pennsylvania. You are welcome as you are, just be yourself. There are other times that we hold small groups, events, and more.
