Member Testimonial: Courtney Straub

For me, the Church of the River is about its members. The church has made me a humanist, and I am thankful for that. We are all we’ve got, and this community consistently demonstrates how vital our interdependent web really is. I attend Church of the River to get my soul filled through joyous music, meaningful words and true connection with other church members. I am continually grateful to be surrounded by so many folks who demonstrate how to be compassionate and still make meaningful change.

As importantly, my son is learning what it means to be human and how soul-changing attending and serving the church can be. It is my sincere wish that our family can continue to seek the truth with love while giving our time, talent and treasure to this holy place.
