This is where church community becomes family

Pastor Jeff and his wife Charissa served together in the church for many years prior to Jeff becoming the Lead Pastor at River Community Church. Their passion is for people to know God and to come alongside them, so they are equipped to live out God’s purposes in their lives. In addition to serving in their local church, they have a heart for missions, especially to the county of Ukraine, carrying on our church’s special connection to the people of Ukraine.

Jeff moved here from North Dakota and has many stories to share, if you have the time. Charissa loves anything with coffee and will share a cup with you anytime. They chose to live in the Hudson Valley after getting married, having raised their daughters here and welcomed a son-in-law into the family. They love to travel together to new places, especially international.
