Meet Our Team
JOSH ELLIFF
Lead Pastor
Jacqueline and I couldn't be more thrilled to plant River Church!
In 2020 God used Romans 15:20-21 to move my heart toward church planting. He used it to deepen the desire for the lost and to build a church-planting church. He grew a heart for a church with healthy DNA that would impact a culture in a consistent way. As I shared the vision with Jacqueline, God began to grow the vision in her heart as well. Together, we began to pray about where God might lead us.
Through scripture, mentors, prayer and study, God eventually led us to Colorado. As we studied the area and visited, we fell in love with Loveland, Colorado. Our desire is to plant a multiplying church in partnership with Colorado Baptists, NAMB, and the SBC to see a culture changed by the Gospel.
We can't wait to meet you, share life together, and grow to be more like Jesus together!

We have a heart for building community and supporting entrepreneurial and artistic endeavors which we believe we will have in common with many young families in the area. We want people to know that true fulfillment and joy come from Christ alone and we look forward to loving and serving neighbors in Loveland, Colorado!
Garrett Green
Worship Leader
As a long time worship leader and church planter, I am very excited about what God is doing through River Church. As an employee in Loveland I have ties to the area and care greatly about the work and mission being done in this area. I believe that River Church is bringing a fresh outlook on ministry to this area and I am very proud to be a part of it.
