Meet River Oaks Community Church:

River Oaks began in March 1999 as a church plant with a core group of 30 families and has grown since then to become a multi-generational church that continues to attract young families through our ministries to the next generation.  We are strategically located next to West Forsyth High School, along a major thoroughfare that connects the cities of Lewisville, Clemmons, and Winston-Salem. Our worship services are contemporary and we encourage people to “come as you are.” Our staff is a cohesive team pursuing a discipleship-driven, outreach-focused vision. We strive to be Bible-centered, Prayer-fueled, Spirit-led, generous-hearted, missions-minded, relationally-connected, and next-gen focused. 

We are a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC).  The EPC is a family of churches, reformed in theology and presbyterian in polity, defined by shared core values and bonded by the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. For more information about the EPC, visit www.epc.org.
