How We Help Churches

River Valley Network exists to teach and inspire every church to accelerate their health and generosity to supernatural levels. We do this through:


We are passionate about generosity because we believe a generous church should be the only type of church. By raising more money we can plant more churches, send more missionaries and increase the Kingdom work God has called us to do.

Pastors Rob & Becca Ketterling


Pastors Rob and Becca founded River Valley Church in an elementary school in 1995. Since then, it has grown into a thriving church with nearly 10,000 in attendance across nine U.S. campuses and one international campus (Mbekelweni, eSwatini).

Our Pastors believe that together, with generous hearts, we will see more churches planted, more missionaries sent, and the message of Jesus spread like never before!
