Leadership Team:
Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.
Rich and Linda Gatto, Senior Pastor
Rich and Linda have been in the ministry for over 35 years, both as pastors and ministers to the Body of Christ in various locations. They are the founders of River Church Ministries, Inc and their desire is to see God’s people rise up and take their place in the kingdom of God on earth.
Some of the strongest “tools” of ministry that the Holy Spirit has equipped them with is an anointing in revelatory instruction with a prophetic edge. They emphasize the presence of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit power gifts, especially of healing, deliverance and miracles.
Another tool of ministry is prophesy, both personal and corporate. From time to time they are sent out to minister to the Body of Christ prophetically, imparting vision and wisdom to the hearers.
Powerful healings and miracles have followed the ministry of the Holy Spirit with wonderful testimonies of God’s grace in individual lives through their teachings, prophetic ministry and prayers.
