Our Mission
To help people discover Christ, grow in their faith, and connect with others who are seeking spiritual truth — all within the unique environment of Second Life.
Our Vision
We envision a world where technology serves as a bridge to authentic community, where people from anywhere on Earth can gather for worship and fellowship — without barriers of geography, disability, or circumstance.
What Makes Us Different
- No physical location needed. We operate entirely in Second Life, meeting virtually for worship and ministry.
- Inclusive by design. Our virtual campus welcomes everyone — regardless of physical ability, location, or schedule.
- Biblical at our core. Despite our virtual setting, we're committed to sound biblical teaching and genuine Christian community.
Our Story
River of Life began as a small gathering in Second Life with a simple conviction: that faith doesn't require a building, and that technology can be used to spread the Gospel rather than distract from it. What started as a handful of believers has grown into a vibrant community that worships, serves, and grows together in the virtual world.
Our Beliefs
We believe in the core tenets of Christianity: the Trinity; the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ; salvation by grace through faith; and the authority of Scripture. We stand in the broader evangelical tradition while embracing the opportunities that virtual worlds offer for ministry and community.
