Who We Are

River of Faith is an outreach of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), and is founded on the beliefs and practices of the LCMS church. We are a Bible-centered church which applies the teachings of Jesus Christ as the way to salvation.

This mission is being supported by Trinity Lutheran, Toledo and St. Paul, Napoleon along with additional LCMS churches in the area.

Vicar Tim BehnkePastor Tim Behnke has been called to lead River of Faith. Working with Pastor Charles Brandt and Pastor Peter Marcis, he has accepted the task of planting, nurturing, and growing the new church. "Waterville is a wonderful community and presents a tremendous opportunity for reaching out to others with God's love and good news." Tim, his wife Heidi, and their 3 children moved to Toledo from St. Louis, MO after Tim completed his seminary work there. Tim graduated from Condcordia Seminary on May 16th and was ordained on June 29th, 2008. He will be installed as the pastor of River of Faith on July 13th.
