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.
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.

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!
We will have freshly brewed Haitian coffee & light breakfast items such as fresh fruit, donuts and mini-quiches provided at our table each Sunday.
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.
We are Mission Focused.
And saving lives with clean water!
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!
