Revival, legacy, and Kingdom advancement in Southwest Georgia.

Apostle Anthony & Prophetess Shamika Rich
Our vision
That God’s children would be deeply connected to the Spirit of the covenant-keeping God. Through that connection, believers grow exponentially: rooted in the Word, nourished by the Spirit, and activated for fruitful living.
Our mission
For families to be restored through their faith in Christ Jesus by the living Word of God. We long to see the Word activated, at work, and elevating every believer, and to see economic shifts break forth in underserved communities at home and around the world.
Spiritual elevation without incubation, consecration, and revelation will eventually lead to procrastination.
First WIN Conferences ignite prophetic momentum and regional outreach.
Friday Night Revive, a quarterly gathering, stirs revival across the community.
The River of God Evangelistic Church is established in Southwest Georgia.
Our first church is planted in Albany, GA.
A second location is dedicated at 743 East Broad Avenue.
First service in the temporary tabernacle at 5425 Newton Road.
We close on our permanent home at 1301 Dorough Avenue.
First service in the new 300-seat sanctuary. The river keeps flowing.
What we stand on.
The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. Open each conviction to read it with its Scriptures.
The Well.
With joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3).
The Danger of Spiritual Arrows
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Apostle Anthony and Prophetess Shamika Rich.
