River Church - Where we come from

River Church began in 1975 as the Ashhurst Christian Shelter, then became the Ashhurst Christian Fellowship before adopting the current name. We provide an encouraging environment to foster opportunities for Christian fellowship and growth for all.

In 2013 we became part of the New Life Churches of New Zealand movement.
