Welcome to the River of Life!
We seek to reach the people of the Nantahala Gorge by extending the love and grace of God in an exploration of His Word and the works of His Son Jesus Christ, creating a warm community of worship, fellowship, and fun.
Join Us!
Sundays at 8:30 AM
The River of Life provides an opportunity for anyone in Western North Carolina to enjoy friendship and explore and deepen our faith journey together.
Come as You Are!
Whether you are an individual "through hiking" the Appalachian Trail or a youth group that has come to the Nantahala for whitewater rafting you are invited to attend. All are welcome and we have plenty of seating and parking available.
Enjoy Our Hospitality!
Coffee & light breakfast items such as fresh fruit, donuts and mini-quiches are provided at our table.
Spend the Day
After, many in our group gather for breakfast at River's End Restaurant and/or head to the river for a fun trip together.
Directions
We meet on the campus of the Nantahala Outdoor Center, on the porch of Slow Joe's Cafe, at the corner of the Nantahala River and Appalachian Trail.
We are Mission Focused.
Each year the vast majority of our offering goes to providing water resources for those most in need. Thousands have died from the Cholera outbreak combined with dysentery from unclean water sources in Haiti.
They are in desperate need for clean fresh water!
Coming Soon at River of Life
Our 2012 Sunday gatherings will begin again on Sunday, May 27 and continue through September.
Our goal is to share God's love with everyone we encounter this summer. Come feel the love through God's presence at the river.
If you miss the River of Life gathering, join us Sundays at 10:55 AM in downtown Bryson City at the Bryson City UMC for a traditional style worship service and loving fellowship.
