Pastor Jack and Joyce started River of Life in October 1982 in the auditorium of Thomas Jefferson High School in Federal Way, WA. Services grew until the first church building was purchased, on 216th street in Kent, WA. In 2002 we opened our doors to our current building, which provides state-of-the-art equipment for our services, events, meetings, and classes.
Pastor Jack is a graduate of Rhema Bible Institute and has received his honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Bible Focus College. Pastor Jack is the Senior Pastor at River of Life and preaches the word during most weekly services.
Pastor and Joyce love spending quality time together, their kids and grandkids, and ministering as a couple. Joyce is a key leader at River of Life Fellowship, who loves people and has the heart to reach the hurting and the lost.
