Our Beliefs
North River affirms the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all we do. We believe that Jesus is the only Son of God and, through His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the grave, is our Savior. We believe that salvation comes through trusting in Christ and seeking forgiveness for sin. We also uphold the historic Baptist tenets of priesthood of the believer and competence of the individual to work out the serious matters of faith directly with God. Members of our church staff are available to share our beliefs with you in greater detail
OUR VISION
We shall, as the body of Christ, seek through relevant lifestyle and service ministries to reach the un-churched people of the larger North Fulton area.
OUR HISTORY
OUR CHURCH
North River was founded as a mission church in 1972. The congregation first met in the Chattahoochee River assembly facilities of the Atlanta Baptist Association. In 1976, the congregation purchased an old horse farm in the north Roswell area and moved to the site that same year. Within a few years, the Highway 92-Crabapple Road area began to experience explosive growth. It is our desire to provide facilities and ministers to meet the needs of the area residents. Today, the church draws almost equally from the Roswell, Alpharetta, South Cherokee, and East Cobb communities.
