Our Affiliations
Downriver Church is a proud part of the Free Methodist Church of North America. The Free Methodist Church is a conservative branch of the Methodist arm of Protestant Christianity. We are a Wesleyan/Arminian/Holiness church, and like those churches we believe in free will, and in the grace of God given through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We are part of The River Conference of the Free Methodist denomination, which is made up of roughly 70 churches occupying the geographic interior swath of the West Coast–from Texas to Montana–and is headquartered out of Denver, CO.
We value our roots and our relationships; but, for most of us, our affiliations don't mean as much as how we serve and grow in our own community, and that we value Jesus above everything else. You can find out more about those things by visiting our Groups page.
