River of Life Christian Church

I have been to this church since day one. Unbelievable, just like that, it’s 20 years ago. This is a biblical fundamental and spirit fill church. Starting out with 50 people, and today is 3000+ attendants every Sunday with 130 branches world wide and continue growing. Yes! Primary Chinese, but also other services such as English, Youth, Junior high, and children services. Children’s facility is a 22 000 SF. Youth has a recreation facility. And, this church also own a TV Station «U Channel 1.9» All Welcome!

If you have not come to this church you have not been to a real Chinese church. This is the definition of a Holy Spirit filled ministry every summer they have a conference called destiny where you will find their destiny in life so you live life with a purpose. Someone please Amen this comment

We love pastor Quoc, he’s inspiring, positive, sense of hummer… No matter his Sunday 11am or 1pm teen or college and young adult section, we all enjoy it!

Music: They spend a long time singing, they seem to repeat the chorus lines many times as a way to worship, reminds me of a gospel church, except with mostly Chinese people. One lady was dancing near the front.
Sermon: The pastor prays in tongues. Her sermon is very in depth, researched, and though out; I think it was about forgiveness. At the end, there is an alter call for prayer, it seems common to fall down when prayed over by the pastor.
The English congregation is very small compared to the whole church.
I feel the people are active Christians but my kids were very uncomfortable with the culture.
Note the podium is see through plastic.

I attend the English service at ROLCC. Before I started coming to this church, I have been a few churchs max 10 times total in the past 10 years. None of them had convinced me that I’d exchange my fun life with Sunday services. I had always had the mind set like «I wasn’t raised in a Christian family, and it will be hard for me to believe; Churchs are for people who don’t have a social life outside of their church.»
River of Life Christian Church totally changed the way I was thinking. The reason I go to this church is not only because people in the Enligh service are fun, cool, friendly, but also spiritually mature. Now I don’t think that people who are going to church are nerdy, quiet, no life. People in the English service are awesome, and I didn’t feel the presuer I got from other churches. I always can’t wait to get to the church on Sunday morning.
Check it out, and you won’t regret it.

It’s an okay church, the chinese worship was big and nice but english one was too small and in an old room.

Here@ Fly Young Saturday services from 4−6pm. its English and Chinese speaking group. I saw a group of young people who is very fire up for God, mostly chinese, is very rare. they are welcomes you and all other international student and young adults. ^_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​^

It’s true that this is a mainly Chinese church– but what people fail to mention is that there are a plethora of races here, as well. It is not a strictly Chinese church!
I go to Ignite, the Sunday college and young adult ministry. It’s GREAT. I was agnostic prior to being introduced to ROLCC.
Everyone I met was extremely welcoming and nice. I come back not only for the people, but for what is being preached, as well.
KEEP AN OPEN MIND ON RELIGION & COME IN. You won’t be sorry.

If you are a Mandarin speaker and new to the area, I highly recommend coming to this church. As all other reviewers have noted, it’s a 3,000±member church, which means you won’t get to know others personally, unless you join a small Bible study group that’s divided by area, family status, or language spoken (Cantonese vs. English). However, if you have been living in the area in a while, it’s very likely that you’ll bump into people you know here.
Pastor Tong, the senior pastor at ROLCC, delivers Biblical, well-​prepared, inspiring and interesting messages every Sunday. I truly feel blessed by coming to this church. The church also hosts a series of events throughout the year, such as seminars by well known speakers from other mainstream churches, or Halloween «street snack day,» so there is never a time when there is nothing going on. The church draws many talented volunteers from all over the area, so everything from the weekly «church weekly news presentation» to their annual Christmas Eve production, is done with top-​notch professionalism! It also draws a lot of families with young children because of its highly supported children’s department.
Come visit here and you’ll know what I’m talking about!

I attend the English Service at ROLCC. The people are friendly, and the messages are good and Biblical. This church does not delete the Book of Acts from the Bible, as some churches do. Come and check it out!

this is a huge church, I used to call it the mother church because of it’s size. But you cannot judge a book by it’s cover. I have been here once in 2007 and I want to come again. my fourth goes here but now she is one of two of my top friends that go here. I want to come again but it is not bus friendly. btw who thought of this on Unilocal

This is a HUGE church. ~3000 ppl in the Chinese service.
This review is for the English service. This is a predominantly a Chinese church but they do have a smaller but growing English congregation ~100 ppl.
People are friendly and welcoming. They have «cell groups» so that you can fellowship and get to know people better. Message is good and the music is inspiring on Sundays. Nice building too, church is doing some renovations.

Sunday service: 11 am (English service is in the back)

SPEAKER:
I don’t remember finding the message too applicable.
MUSIC:
SEATING:
For some reason it’s like a «landscape» format. Not «portrait».
VISUAL:
PEOPLE:
Mostly asians? Not the biggest English congregation, so if you’re new, you will be noticed.
ATMOSPHERE:
Good sized church. Impressively tall art piece of their logo in front that you can see off 101. The café area in the front is pretty nice. We went early and it was nice to chill there before the service. They had a gift store too to browse in.

River of Life is primary a Chinese Christian church, but they do have English congregation as well.
This is a very big church, one might say this is one of the biggest chinese church in the bay area (in my opinion it is)
They have 3 chinese pastor and the main pastor Tong is even on the chinese tv every week or so giving message to everyone who watches it.
Check them out if you like to be part of big church and big family. They are very friendly there.
