Pastor Jim and Linda Ftacek
Thank you for visiting our website. We at Atwater River Church welcome you to check out all that God is doing in and through the different ministries and church events that we are involved in here in Atwater, CA.
Back in 2005 the Lord brought us here to Atwater to pioneer a church. He gave us a grand vision for Atwater as well as Merced County and even beyond that. Our church began with about 6 to 8 people and as we have followed God’s leading we have continued to grow, slow and steady. The people here at Atwater River Church are faithful and loving. We welcome visitors with open arms and open hearts and many of those that have come to visit have become a part of our church.
We are a full-gospel Foursquare Church and believe that the Word of God contains all the information we need to live happy, productive lives in Christ Jesus, our Lord. We believe that God has a plan and a purpose for everyone, and our intention is to help people realize their purpose. We see our walk with the Lord as a great adventure that finds us with new challenges and new hopes each and every day. We put our faith and trust in Him to lead us and guide us to accomplish the vision He laid out for us to do. Again, we thank you for visiting our site and hope that you will also one day visit our church. God bless you.
