Leadership

The Lord has blessed us with wonderful leaders who encourage us in our ministry and our walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. They are there for us when we need prayer and also hold us accountable in remaining Christ-like in all that we do.

Allan & Velia Patterson

As Apostles for Rising Rivers, Allan and Velia bring spiritual maturity and experience. They are involved in all decisions for our ministry.

They head up Internal Affairs Ministries, which is also a traveling ministry that serves churches without Pastors. With their leadership, churches have found new hope and life in Christ Jesus. Their mentorship, experience, and shared wisdom has blessed us immensely.

Mark & Trisha Johnson

In the fall of 2023, we had the privilege of meeting Pastors Mark and Trisha Johnson at the Global Ministers Conference in Woodland Park, CO. It was through Pastor Mark that we connected with Allan and Velia Patterson.

We've had opportunities to visit Word Fellowship Church in Chouteau, OK and regularly watch their weekly broadcast on YouTube. We feel very connected to the church, and blessed by the solid teaching of Pastors Mark and Trisha. It's most definitely our "home away from home".

Pastor Mark now provides encouragement and oversight for Rising Rivers. You can learn more about the church by visiting Word Fellowship Church.

Darrell & Gina Farley

We were blessed to initially be sent out by Hillside Church in Redding, California where Pastors Darrell and Gina Farley have served faithfully for over 10 years. It has been through their loving grace and encouragement that we have stepped forward with Rising Rivers.

With their leadership, Hillside Church has become a healthy, vibrant, and growing family of believers, setting the example of what a local church should be. They remain our Pastors as they continue to encourage us and pray for us.
