Our services consist of anointed worship, an uncompromised message from the Word of God, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Services that will impact your life!
We believe that when we put God first place in our lives, He will not only change our lives, but also our city and our nation!
Our Pastors
Pastors Ben and Jacky Kroeske came to the Netherlands in 2013 with the vision for the Church burning in their hearts! Ben, as native Dutch, and Jacky, from Puerto Rico, met each other while attending the River Bible Institute in Tampa, Florida.
After graduating with a Batchelor of Arts in Theology, they were hired as full-time staff at the River at Tampa Bay Church and Revival Ministries International. In 2013, they were ordained through Revival Ministries International Ministerial Association for the work the Lord has called them to do in the Netherlands.
