The more members involved, the more effective the church. The pastors\u2019 role is to equip the people to do the work. Serving is a basic Bible principle that Rivers embraces and encourages. We have several ministry teams which provide great avenues for serving, such as: Car Park, Info Counter, Hospitality, Coffee Shop, Production and many more.&nbsp;1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)&nbsp;Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God&#8217;s grace in its various forms.Ephesians 4:11-13 (MSG)&nbsp;He handed out gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, and pastor-teacher to train Christians in skilled servant work, working within Christ&#8217;s body, the church, until we&#8217;re all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God&#8217;s Son&#8230; Each person should make a contribution in what their gifting is like making things for the church, helping, providing various things.<\/p>\n<p>Name &amp; Surname*Email*<\/p>\n<p>Phone*NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>&#916;<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/row --><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/07-jaco\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223602\/07-Jaco-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/06-coffee\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223553\/06-Coffee-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/05-car-park\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223542\/05-Car-Park-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/04-sam\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223534\/04-Sam-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/03-foundation\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223524\/03-Foundation-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/02-youth\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223514\/02-Youth-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/01-os\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/02\/07223505\/01-Os-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/kyl_3702\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/11141809\/KYL_3702-1024x1024.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/61-768x768-1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/06131710\/61-768x768-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/131-768x768\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/06131348\/131-768x768-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/v3-768x768\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/06131355\/v3-768x768-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/rivers.church\/kyalami\/v5-768x768\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/06131401\/v5-768x768-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">We Love to Serve WHY SERVE?
