Comment: I just got back home from healing school with my toddler as a single mom I struggle with a lot of things from my childhood. The pastor and his wife are so amazing and my eyes were opened. My life has changed in a tremendous way. I can go on and on over all the blessings that has been poured over my life.Looking back I thank the lord for guiding me to this amazing church. I remember in 2019 the church sent out a group of young adults to testify next to a grocery store and give free food. I thought it was nonsense to have to wait for preaching to be over to get food. I was ready to go but no I stayed and waited with patients. That night I left with more than just a bag of groceries. Thank you lord!I received a call from them to pray for me after this outdoor service and again I thought it was crazy he said repeat this prayer after me. But wow this church keeps fighting the battle has been won. When you think you are alone and battling alone in this world at the end of your road. This church family appears and life is never the same.The services are longer than normal church but it isn’t a big deal to me. A lot of people complain about this but don’t complain about how much time we spend being slaves to everything in the world.I like how the river church go above and beyond for everyone no matter the situation you find yourself they always say to stay positive and always talk positive over your life using scripture.The ID issues the worker said if a person doesn’t have they will find a way to help them get it and it’s no big deal to me. I’ve had a church ask for a full background check just to volunteer at the kids area.Come get filled with the love and peace of God. This church is on fire for the lord and I’m in for it. You will leave a soldier ready for what God calls you to do.

Comment: My wife and I visited this church last year for the first time, and our life has never been the same! God spoke to us that night about leaving NY and enrolling in River University.If you want to be filled with the Word, Spirit, and Fire this is the place to be. You will be filled and taught how to win Souls for the Kingdom of God. Pastor Rodney & Adonica and the staff here will push you to go after everything that God has for you.We have grown so much since being here and we have seen one miracle after another. God has done a mighty work in us so that He can do it through us and touch many lives. We are so thankful and grateful the Lord brought us to this ministry.The fruit that comes from this ministry is supernatural! Every part of this ministry is anointed from Healing School, to River University, to kids church, to worship, etc!

Comment: I have been attending live online for a few months and when the anointing falls on the congregation it also falls on us at home. My wife and I both have had supernatural healing while they were praying for us. They even mentioned that someone watching in Ontario Canada with our exact problem was being prayed for. God did that! It is not that the pastor is special or a healer. It is god doing it and many churches are becoming this way again. It is the Holy Sprit. I was cured of a lifetime of extreme anxiety. I have none today. That laughing is not strange. It is the human response to joy unspeakable when God gives it to you. It is normal to be humbled that way in the presence of the Lords Holy Spirit.

Comment: The River at Tampa Bay Church is the finest church in all the nation! Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne is a general in our faith and a great example of what strong, Christian leadership looks like. If you are hungry for the The Lord Jesus Christ and a touch of God, this is the place for you! The Holy Spirit of God moves here regularly. The services are not church as usual, but how church should be. Me and my husband even packed our belongings to move across the country to attend River University as Dr. Rodney was so generous to award us scholarships for the entirety of the three year program. Our experience here at The River has been abundantly worth more than every mile it took for us to get here. If you’re looking for a wonderful church and/or Bible college, The River at Tampa Bay Church and River University is the place for you—come and see!

Comment: We were led to come here a little over 2 years ago because of the pastors political and faith stand. I can honestly say I remain continually excited and honored to be a part of what The River Church is since I now know much more about it.During the first few months, we were the beneficiaries of intervention from River staff who assisted us with Telmed services when we were both desperately ill. We would have died if they had not gone the extra distance to help us.We soon became members in a short class and began to attend their conferences. Life changing!Next, my husband and I went to healing school for 2 weeks. I wasnt sick but I did get healed of a lifetime of wrong thinking. Cost to attend was zero. Benefits were priceless! I will never be the same. Everyone should go!We became volunteers after that and have caught the fire of the vision to carry the gospel to the world. We had it before but now we joined with others who are actually succeeding in that mission.As a political activist, I was first encouraged by pastors style, which is the same as mine. I have come to appreciate much more of his and his wifes faith, which I now aspire to match.We are starting businesses now because Christians dont retire. They just refire. We learned that in their free business school. I just published another book. Im 74 and growing younger. We also learned about the stem cell patch at this church and now use a Vollara Air and Surface Pro + which healed our allergies. All this and Jesus too! Where are you going to church?

Comment: You will have a holy ghost encounter here if your heart is open to receiving. Would like to caution that some name-calling gentiles or Jews may not find it the best fit. Proud recipient of the Holy Ghost or situational laughter that is extended. Also blown away that a 3-year scholarshiped degree program is offered to all, with minimal out of pocket expense, changing thousands of lives through the power of God!Continue to bless them tremendously Father.

Comment: The River Church saved my life. I was going through a few major storms when Covid hit. I drove cross country and all the churches were shut down. I was watching Pastor Rodney at the green desk As soon as I heard he was opening the church, I got in my car and headed down. I made it May 31. 2020 , when The Stand started I rededicated my life to the Lord. I was called to River University and just completed 2 years in May 2023. My whole life is changed. I never experience deptession . I wake up evey day with joy and peace. I now have a passion for the lost and win souls It is from the teachings of Pastors Rodney and Adonica Howard- Browne. Every teacher and Pastor on staff is truly anointed and full of the Word of God. Honestly, I dont know what would have happened to me but for The River. I thank God for bringing me here. I will continue to attend and serves as long as the Lord has me to. Thanks be to God for Revival Ministries. It is truly a bt of heaven on earth.

Comment: Went to River Church with my cousin and a friend and the organized way to seat so many people for Sunday morning church was excellent. The volunteers help you register, you get a wrist band to wear and the welcoming is very warm; the praise and worship is a revival revolution; The pastor and his wife are very personable. My cousin got water baptized right after service. There is hot food plates to buy and free food, water and vegetables to take home. There is a bus service to take you and bring you to church. Definitely visiting here again. God bless Drs. Rodney & Adobo a Howard-Browne.

Comment: Powerful church in Tampa where the presence of the Holy Spirit is strong. Divine atmosphere, safe place, kind people. Ps Rodney and Adonica are leading the Revival here and all over the world, bringing souls daily to the Kingdom of God Almighty. River University is the best, and all students receive scholarships and are well trained to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ on Earth. I personally invite you to the Stand Sunday Friday night @ 7:00 and Sunday morning at 9:30. Your life will never be the same again

Comment: The presence of the lord is available here. We drove from TN. 12hr drive and it was worth it. It seemed like a normal place. Everyone was nice & helpful. The purifying machines are phenomenal but other than the size of the church, the people serving, and the sermons there is something about this place it feels like heaven on earth if you are ready to receive. You will be challenged by everything but pressing in knowing you’ll never be the same will get you closer to whom you truly seek: JESUS. God bless you & may you be open to receive.

Comment: Each time I call Revival for prayer everything was fine until I meet a prayer minister by the name Esther. She has big voice. She was arguing with me...dhe blocked me. I always ask to stay anonymous every minister are ok. Please supervisor address this issue. Being anonymous is not being disrespect . I am always polite and give offerings... I am in a process of healing please remove any wicked act from prayer line. Thank you for understanding.This ministry is a blessing. I love the Holy Spirit I cannot rate less than 5.some did what they did. Not God. If anybody knows the supervisor please help!

He allows the Holy Spirit to freely move wherever he goes.I experienced this at my previous church in Brooklyn Park, Mn, at Pastor Mac Hammond’s church, Living Word. The place was packed every service! God moved like I had never seen Him move before.A true Man of God!

Comment: I felt the presence, peace of God from the moment I parked my truck. There were so many lovely parking attendants helping direct traffic and wonderful Spirit-filled Police and Security officers. I could sense the love of God. I was tempted to be a little frustrated because I forgot my drivers license which is required upon entry. I quickly got over that and retrieved it from my vehicle. It would help to have a few signs asking people to have their IDs ready. The worship and testimony time was spectacular and so encouraging! Even a 12 year old boy had led a 70 year old lady to Jesus and prayed for her to be healed! Please disregard the posts on here that show negative experiences from well-meaning people. Come experience it for yourself! God loves all people, no matter where youre at in your Journey.

Comment: I severely injured my knee in a fall at home and could not walk without assistance. I met a wonderful young lady, Carolyn, who was very caring who told me she would pray for my recovery and removal of my pain. Thinking she would pray later that evening at home I was surprised when she placed her had on my shoulder and asked me to pray with her as she prayed. Carolyn I finished praying my pain was completely gone. I could stand, walk, bend my knee without pain at all. I believe, through Carolyn, Lord removed my pain. Not only removal of pain, but Carolyns prayer, her words, her explanations of scripture, I there, gave myself to the Lord, completely.

Comment: Fantastic opportunity to get saturated in the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, to focus on evangelism and community outreach, putting God first, and dedicating your life to His service. Regarding the Bible college, you can go for 1, 2, or 3 years. It changed my life. I met my husband there too. ;) I grew so much closer to God and had awesome godly examples of my pastors pouring into my life each and every day. I definitely recommend the school if you feel called to ministry, Gods service, or if you just want to strengthen your understanding of and doing of the Word. As a member of the church, I recommend plugging in and allowing the Holy Spirit to do a thorough work in your heart so you can impact your realm of influence with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each service is a life-changing experience because Gods presence is REAL.

Comment: This church is the absolute BEST. I visit from nearby Lakeland when I can, but have actually considered moving to Brandon area just to spend way more time here. I already raised my nine kids, so I cant benefit from the astounding rare programs they offer young people. I wish so much I lived near a church like this when raising them. Also, this is an America loving church. Not a commmunniisstt America bashing place. You gotta love it! Courageous, brave, common sense pastor. We need a million more like him throughout the earth and our country. So many cowardly culturally silent hiding pastors these days. This man is strong, biblical, brave and balanced scripturally.

We just moved to FLORIDA less than 2 weeks ago after retiring from the USAF & selling our house due to the experimental biologic. We hope to make it in person soon and would love to attend in person once a month if possible from Lady Lake Area. We thank God for this church and have been tithing here only. GOD’s blessings and favor to the ministry of Revival ministries!!

Comment: I love going to The River. I have been here 3 different times, driving down fron M.O.The Church is alive and energetic with the living God, and driven by Holy Spirit. Security is needed from all the threats from staying open when told to shut down. It keeps the people inside safe from the ones that want to destroy it. I have grown from the inside out, not seeing the growth or feeling it, but the fire has been burning out all the trash in me and is making me into a force to be dealt with, going out and proclaiming the gospel. From being timid to walking in a holy boldness. Nothing can stop the church, and woe to those who come up against her.#lovesharesthegoodnewsExpecting a door to open so I can go to RMI.Heaps of Blessings in this time of Double!!!

Comment: The Lord radically transformed our lives thru this ministry. Pastor Rodney actually married us during one of the conferences in 2019 There is a Sound. He blessed us with my wedding ring, a celebration afterwards, and a 17 day cruise to Hawaii.This was not planned, and it all happened in 3 days. He did not once judge us because we werent married.My 74 year old mother was baptized here, and the next year my husband was baptized here as well.All of the comments about Just wanting your money etc are far from what weve experienced. We were blessed beyond belief, and were continually pinching ourselves because the blessings and miracles never stopped comingThis Church and the staff were top notch..they treated us like royality.., and thru this ministry, Dr. Rodney & Adonica completely impacted our lives forever. There is no Church that can even touch this place...How very grateful we are for this house and these Pastors. We travel and snow bird from Wisconsin, and cannot wait until we are here in person. I cannot say enough great things.

Comment: I was looking forward to attending this church until I stood in line to apparently prove my identity in order to worship the Lord. I dont agree with this measure and will not consent to it. Pastor Rob McCoy was also dealing with major pushback out in Thousand Oaks California and I didnt have to prove my identity there. Hopefully this changes soon.

Comment: Ive never attended, but follow on YouTube. It amazes me to see how some discredit the ministry because they remain open. Frankly, I was disappointedabout the churches that shut down. Jesus was radical and NOT politically correct. There is definitely a difference between those who believe and those who follow Christ. The divide is very clear. Most people followed mandates and orders from the government without doing their own research on the virus. Ive worked in the medical field since 2009. Looking at the numbers reported alone was not even logical. CDC even reports that only 6 percent of what is reported is the true number. We need to seek other sources and NOT take main stream propaganda as truth. This social test proved most will be lead like sheep. Research sheep and see just how intelligent they are. I did, and understand why we are paralleled with sheep in the Bible. Blessings.

Comment: I live in Alabama and have never attended this church but I believe that it is a wonderful thing that they were bold enough to have church during this time of the nation being in a panic over something that in my opinion is way over done and ridiculous. This virus scare has went way too far. People need to have faith and learn the facts and it certainly takes away several of our constitutional rights to not allow people to meet at church. God will bless this pastor exceedingly for what he is doing and I pray that he will continue to stay strong. If I lived in Tampa I would sure attend !

Comment: We visited here from Texas for the pastors conference. We love pastor Rodney Howard-Browne and the River church. I actually didn’t realize how much they do for their surrounding community, and we also heard that they were housing thousands of people affected by the hurricane in the Bahamas. This is A wonderful example of how the church is called to love one another. The worship and message were incredible, and it is so rare to find a church that allows the time and creates the atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to move. This is a place where lives are changed forever and Jesus truly is Lord!

Comment: Another five star review to skip over, unless you want to know about my personal experience...I am from New Jersey, and my daughter told me about River Church and River Bible Institute (University). We were in the Tampa area, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to see the church and campus. Fortunately, we visited during their recent 2019 Fire Conference Summer Youth Week. I was completely amazed at the energy and move of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the teens at the conference. I have NEVER been to any Youth Conference where I saw so many teens completely on fire for God! I was absolutely floored! I felt like I was reliving Pentecost in modern times. Teens were being baptized in the Holy Spirit and baptized in water; they were giving their heart’s to Christ and crying out in worship with all their strength. I have no doubt in my heart these teen’s lives have been changed forever.I know many other reviewers have criticized this church and their speakers regarding their teaching on giving and partnering financially with the ministry. I understand some people find this offensive. Please remember that River Church doesn’t charge money for the activities they provide. No one is obligated to give any financial support of any kind. Their university, River Bible Institute, provides a free three-year bachelor’s degree to anyone who is qualified, capable and willing to attend. The youth conference I mentioned earlier was also free to attend. It is obvious this church is passionate about reaching people that need a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and they are not doing this for financial gain.Many of the critiques in the other Google Reviews criticized errors or mis-judgements in function or interactions or processing by staff or volunteers at the church. With any organization, there are always going to be good-intentioned mistakes made by individuals and failures of processes due to the scope and breadth of the events, activities and the quantity of people involved. I am certain there is always a better way to manage and implement every event and interaction, however this is most apparent after the mistakes have already been made. Peace friends, I am certain the volunteers and organizers of the events and church services do not intend for anyone to have a negative experience. Sometimes mistakes and oversights happen.I personally believe that it is most important to lead others into a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. This is called Salvation, which is the “narrow gate” opening to the “path” that leads to Heaven after a person’s physical death on Earth. By walking this “path” on Earth, a person strives to live a Holy life in a broken world, and hopefully lead others to find Salvation along the way. Everything I have seen at River Church shows me they also have this mission and are willing to spend their finances and enlist their staff and volunteers to the maximum degree in order to achieve the greatest results. To this end, we have CHOSEN to partner financially with this ministry because I believe in what they represent and what they do.

Comment: This is a must visit church because they allow the Holy Spirit to come and touch peoples lives with a tangible presence of Almighty God and that is what changes us from the inside out. We must also stay in reading the Holy Bible ourselves though to know how God wants us to live and to know him Jesus with a personal relationship. It is also like a man looking in the mirror to see what you look like to make the changes to look and be the person we should be. Pastors Rodney and Adonica are Americas Missionaries!!! We need to Honor them and remember this. I have also been healed of severe allergies by the laying on of hands. Praise JESUS!!!!! So thankful for this ministry!!!!

I know what its like to have an empty cupboard, My mom raised 10 of us by herself We were on welfare and we drank our share of instant milk.Could it be that youre in need of groceries because youre in need of the Grocer just like I am. . Until you attend the church on a regular basisStop speaking evil against something that you dont understand.Anytime youre dealing with people theyll disappoint you But dont get disappointedYou disappoint people.I dont know what these flyers look likeBut everybodys complaining aboutBut Im certain the name of the church and the address of the churchPossibly a phone numberWas on the flyer.The days of the Internet Google on the phoneIf you have time did type of a nasty reviewProbably go to look this up before You went to get the groceries.Mans only been doing it for 30 some years.What are we doing lately?Are now Pastor Brown I was zapped by the Holy Ghost in your church to never be the same again!

Comment: The naysayers need discernment!! This church is awesome. The pastors and most everyone Ive met that attends here are a testament to this church. They are doing what true churches are supposed to do--teaching, reaching, winning souls for the Kingdom, aiding those in need. Theres a Kingdom Business Finance meeting every Tuesday evening, and there are campmeetings and conferences throughout the year. House of Joy is the awesome name for small groups. They have a gun club with regular events. Land of Delight farm products are quality and much of the options are organic; they also have a water filtration system that Im eager to acquire at some point. So many good things to say about this church and this people.

For so long Ive hoped to find a Holy Spirit filled church as on fire for Jesus as this one and I thank God that I finally have. Theyre very bold in expressing the gifts God has given them. People jumping up and down while worshipping, people speaking in tongues, people falling over slain in the Holy Spirit, people healing others by the laying on of hands... Just a very energetic, Holy Spirit filled and driven church. Thank You Lord Jesus for this church. Im enrolling in Bible School and starting in August and I cant wait!

Comment: This is NOT a Laodicean church there to tickle your ears! Do not expect a feel good-anything goes-there is no such thing as sin-it only matters that you feel good-church. This church speaks out against sin while reminding you that Jesus loves you and wants to make your life whole. Dont expect political correctness and dont expect confirmation of Satans lie that the bible and or Christianity changes to fit modern mans views of sin ...This church is here to direct you to Christ and away from sin...this will offend those looking to be made comfortable in their sins. The true church will make us uncomfortable in our sins because our souls making it to heaven is their highest priority. Maranatha!

Comment: Finally!!! A real Church that preaches and teaches the bible. The Holy Spirit is allowed to walk inheal people, restore them, and have his way. Pastor Rodney is a righteous man with integrity, so is his pastoral staff. But Im most impressed with the kids programs, I used to never trust my kids with anybody, especially in youth groups at churches. But these people are on fire for God and take care not to offend The Holy Spirit. If you want a church that is about God and cares more for your soul and wellbeing instead of your pocket book this church is one of them.

Theres not enough to be said about how important it was for me and many others to go through here and be instructed in the things of God. Im grateful for RBI. The faculty are truly lead by the Holy Spirit and that is what makes the difference.
