Bible-teaching church in Broken Arrow
A church that takes the Bible seriously
River of Life UNITED began with a vision from God. Our founders waited faithfully for four years before the door opened, and in March 2022 the church launched in Broken Arrow with one clear calling: to equip the saints to impact the world.
Here, church is for the believer to equip the believer. We open the Bible and make hard truths plain and practical, so you leave on Sunday knowing what to do on Monday. Christ comes first, family and community second, and everything else after that.
