Pastor Justin & Hannah Dove
November 2023 to Present Day

We are incredibly grateful to God for His leading us to Rivermont Baptist Church. I
would like to ask you to continue to pray for our ministry and all that is planned this
year as we seek to serve Him and give Him our best!

Theme for 2024
Wilt thou not revive us again. Psalm 85:6

We are asking God to revive our hearts and renew a spirit to serve Him in even greater capacities! Let’s be ready to hear and obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. My heartfelt prayer is for people to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and labor together with us to further God’s kingdom.
