About River of Life

Our story and what we believe as a church family.

Our Story

A Family of Faith in Grayson

River of Life Apostolic Church exists to be a place where people encounter the presence of God, grow in His Word, and find genuine community. We are a Spirit-filled, Apostolic Pentecostal church rooted in Grayson, Kentucky, committed to sound biblical teaching and heartfelt worship.

Whether you grew up in church or you're walking through the doors for the very first time, our hope is that you'll feel the same thing we experience every week — a river of life that refreshes, restores, and never runs dry.

Our Vision

To be a house of prayer and refuge in Grayson and the surrounding region — reaching the lost, restoring the broken, and raising up believers who carry the Gospel into everyday life.

What We Believe

Our Foundation

As an Apostolic Pentecostal church, our beliefs are rooted in Scripture and the pattern of the early church found in the book of Acts.

The Word of God

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and the final authority for faith and Christian living.

One God

We believe in one God, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost — not three separate persons, but one God manifested in three ways.

The New Birth

We believe salvation includes genuine repentance, water baptism by immersion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:38).

A Holy Life

We believe believers are called to live set apart for God — in conduct, character, and daily walk — as an expression of love for Him.
