River of Life Ministry

Seeking solace and spiritual growth? River of Life Ministry in Los Angeles offers just that. River of Life Ministry isn’t just a church. It’s a vibrant hub woven into the fabric of the Hyde Park community. Pastors Rodney and Leslie Buckner have nurtured this spiritual haven for over 13 years. Their journey began in 2001, addressing a need for quality childcare and education. This led to the establishment of not one, but three preschools under the banner of Buckner Educational Christian Academy. River of Life Ministry itself is a testament to their dedication, spreading the Gospel and fostering discipleship. Moreover, their commitment extends to those with developmental challenges through the Olive Branch Outreach program. River of Life Ministry embraces a non-denominational, multicultural approach. It welcomes individuals from all walks of life, regardless of where they are on their spiritual path. The church’s mission is clear: to teach the uncompromised Word of God and extend a helping hand to those in need. Every last Saturday, the Cheerful Givers ministry provides hot meals, hygiene kits, and clothing to the community. Pastor Rodney, called to ministry in 2012, delivers inspiring messages that resonate with contemporary audiences. His wife, Co-Pastor Leslie, complements his leadership with her teaching and prayer. Together, they embody the principles of faith, holiness, prosperity, and above all, love. River of Life Ministry isn’t just a place of worship. It is a beacon of hope and transformation, striving to empower individuals to reach their full potential in Christ. The Buckners’ vision, inspired by Revelation 22:1-5, envisions a community healed and unified through faith.
