Meet the Pastor

Nearly 35 years since Pastor Matthew and Amy Stoehr moved to Vista with a call to plant a church, they are still passionately serving this community. The River has seen many seasons, but through it all, we have remained committed to seeing God's kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. 

We welcome you›

We invite you to worship with our church family at our weekly services, and gatherings through the week. Join us Sundays at 10:00 AM outside in our River Gardens and Wednesdays at 7:00PM. Be sure to check out upcoming events to find more ways to connect!

Stay connected

As God’s people, we are called to be Christ's body on earth. We need constant encouragement to do that effectively. We're updating the Life Blog daily with devotionals, prayer guides, sermon notes and words of encouragement from our staff and community.
