Love the 352 white

Welcome to Love the 352

Here at River Life Church, we believe in not just being a part of this community, but actively embracing and uplifting it. “Love the 352” isn’t just a catchy phrase – it’s a rallying cry, a commitment to showering our neighbors with the same love and compassion that we have received from our Creator.

In a world that often feels divided and distant, we strive to be a beacon of hope and unity right here in our own backyard. Through our various ministries and outreach programs, we seek to bridge the gaps, mend the broken, and bring healing to the hurting. From providing meals to families facing food insecurity to cheering on our local high school football team alongside the Tiger Chow Crew, every initiative under the “Love the 352” umbrella is a testament to our dedication to serving and loving our community well.

But Love the 352 is more than just a series of initiatives – it’s a movement, a way of life. It’s about rolling up our sleeves, getting our hands dirty, and showing up for one another in both the big moments and the small. It’s about recognizing that we are all in this together – neighbors, friends, and strangers alike – and that each one of us has a role to play in making our community a better, brighter place.

So whether you’re a longtime resident of Dunnellon or a newcomer to the 352 area code, we invite you to join us in spreading love, hope, and joy throughout our community. Together, let’s make every corner of the 352 shine with the light of God’s love.

Food Ministry

At River Life Church, our Food Pantry is dedicated to serving our community by providing essential food items to those in need. Open on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, our pantry offers a welcoming and supportive environment for individuals and families facing food insecurity.

We regularly hold food drives to stock our pantry, and we are always grateful for donations from our generous community. Your contributions help us continue to serve and support those who need it most.

Join us in our mission to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Whether you’re in need of assistance or looking to give, the River Life Church Food Pantry is here for you.

Upcoming Events

Tiger Chow

River Life Church is proud to support Dunnellon High School through our Tiger Chow Ministry. Embracing the spirit of the Tigers, we provide meals for the players and coaches before each home football game, ensuring they are well-nourished and ready to perform at their best. In addition to feeding the team, our dedicated volunteers also run the concession stand at every home game, fostering a sense of community and school spirit. Join us in cheering on our local teams and making a positive impact through the Tiger Chow Ministry!

 

Tiger Bible Club

The Tiger Bible Club is a vibrant and growing ministry at Dunnellon Middle and Dunnellon High School, meeting during lunchtime to foster spiritual growth and fellowship among students. In the 2023-2024 school year, we averaged 170 students attending the high school club during the later part of the year. During our meetings, students engage in devotionals, participate in open discussions, and join together in prayer. One of the unique initiatives started by the youth is a prayer mirror in the bathroom, where they post prayers on the mirror using post-it notes, creating a powerful visual reminder of their faith and support for one another.

River Life Church, along with various other local churches, provides lunch for the students, making it a nourishing time for both body and soul. Local pastors, along with students, take turns speaking at the club, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience for all. We are grateful for our teacher sponsors, Mrs. Cannon at the middle school and Mrs. Luckey at the high school, who provide invaluable guidance and encouragement.

Join us at the Tiger Bible Club as we build a community rooted in faith, fellowship, and prayer.
