River Valley Christian Fellowship - Bastrop (TX)

3 /5 Thomas Postel: Great praise and worship service. Great message of the gospel preached. Unfortunately as an ordained minister, I would never close out a sermon without giving an invitation for salvation and prayer. River Valley closes out their church services without an invitation or prayer needs. I have never visit a church that doesnt end with the opportunity for a non believer to come to Christ.

5 /5 Brenda M: I left another Christian well known church in Austin because the preachings felt super sugarcoated/no substance, almost like positive talks with bible verses. I no longer felt spiritually fed. So I started looking around, so glad I came across River Valley! First of all Pastor Codi is hilarious, has this great gift of speaking, and also serves. Second of all, I really appreciate how he and the other pastors stand outside the worship area after service and are open to conversation or a simple hello. Last but not least is preachings/sermons. Sermons are 100% biblical based. I feel the Lord speaking to me, convicting me, and working in my heart when I hear the word. As long as River Valley doesn’t compromise biblical truth for popularity I will always recommend!

3 /5 Fullsterkur Training: Nice place with nice people but the fact that their pastor is using an entire month of sermons as an opportunity to essentially panhandle (fundraise) is very off putting. We will not be attending this month solely for that reason. Not an appropriate use of this time at all. People are struggling with finances enough right now. We dont need to spend the little time we have to rest and rejoice being hijacked. Very disappointing.

5 /5 Amber Wilson: I really like that every time we go, the message is coming through loud and clear. The pastor knows how to reach people and I find appreciation in how he connects people to what he is saying (sometimes even a bit humorous). Its different every time and we feel so comfortable with the way they welcome us and just let us listen to the word of God!!

5 /5 Elle Stanbury: I loved it! Not much of a church person but I am a GOD PERSON. And I know that fellowship is important and to be around other like-minded people and to continue to grow, learn and give back. Which is why it’s always been difficult for me to find a home church because churches are run by imperfect people. But I got to tell you this place felt right.
