River's Edge has been established at its current location since 1960 under the name Holy Cross Lutheran Church, and later changed its name to River's Edge. In 1987 it became part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Since 2004, however, the congregation moved its affiliation to the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations, a denomination that seeks to be lead by the Holy Spirit and focus more on the Bible. Today you will find a variety of ministries in the church, including missionary programs, youth and adult groups and Bible studies. It also supports a missionary organization, Agape Flights, an independent Christian ministry dedicated to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and committed to fighting disease and poverty all around the world.
