Our History:

The original name was The River Church and basically Was a spirit filled Baptist Church as to what our denomination is today. Many churches have taken on the characteristics of The Bapticostal Movement , The Bible says in Matthew 16:18 " And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." We have this to in Common,all churches around the world no matter the denomination are all founded on this scripture. Bapticostal Church International wants to invite everyone to be apart our Movement if u are not already involved in a church.
