Leadership Team

Pastor Tom and Gretchen are the newest addition to our team, joining us in June, 2025.  Pastor Tom and Gretchen  bring more than 30 years of pastoral experience to River of Life.  Pastor Tom believes that People matter more than programs, Worship matters more than ritual, and Families matter more than traditions.

Danette is currently serving in an administrative role to help keep the kids ministry organized.  She also serves as a teacher and is always looking to expand this important team. 

Moe and Anita Hajivandi have been involved in serving our community for decades.  They love being able to provide food assistance and hope to our neighbors.

Sandy leads Still Waters Grief Support which is a monthly small group for those who have experienced loss.  

Noah helps keep the technical side of River of Life running smoothly.  This includes the sound team, video team, streaming team, and web team.  

Faith creates social media content for River of Life.  You can see her work on Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

April and her team help to make every guest feel like the treasure they are.

Elizabeth runs our coffee bar.  We believe hospitality is a vital and often missing ministry in a church.  Stop by the coffee bar when you visit, get a latte and a smile.

Moe's team ensures the safety and security of our guests on Sundays.  This includes ensuring our children are kept secure during kids church times. 

Gretchen leads both the Young Adult and Women's groups.  She meets regularly with these groups for discipleship.

Donna helps keep everything running smoothly, keeps Pastor Tom in line, and makes him look organized. 

River of Life’s Board is made up of qualified men and women who assist the pastor and staff in a variety of ways.  They also provide financial oversight for the ministry.
