Pastor Patrick Murphy was saved in 1979 and has been involved in ministry since that time. He has served as youth pastor, youth evangelist, associate pastor, senior pastor, and full-time evangelist.

In November of 2000, he obeyed God's direction and founded The River @ Tri-City, a non-denominational church in Newcastle, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. While he completely enjoys and thrives on seeing his congregation grow and mature in the Word, he also has an anointing to bring healing and revival to America and the nations of the world.

In addition to pastoring, Patrick conducts revivals across America and has been involved in crusades in Columbia, South America, spreading the message of healing, faith and prosperity. His teaching style is practical and helps the listener clearly understand the Word.

He believes there is nothing more frustrating than knowing what needs to be done, but not knowing how to do it. That is how many Christians in the Body of Christ live their lives. They know that they should have righteousness, peace and joy in their lives but many never go on to learn how to have it.

Many never learn how to apply the Word in order to get manifestation. Helping Christians learn these lessons is a driving passion that Patrick uses to touch many lives.
