Our Family
The RIO Network
We have 12 churches locally, and thousands around the world. Our motto has been and will continue to be, “Loving God, Empowering Families, and Reaching the World for Jesus Christ.” We recognize that everything that has taken place at RIO has been because of God, and we joyfully give Him all the credit!
