Tim & Janese Rivers
Tim and Janese Rivers are thrilled to have been called to leadership of Embassy City Church. Tim Rivers preached his first sermon at the age of 13 and went into full-time ministry at age 18. He received his bachelor's degree in marketing from the University of Texas at Arlington, his master's degree in theology from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is currently pursuing a doctorate degree with a focus on church revitalization from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
"I am honored for what Tim and Juliette Ross have built from the ground up," said Tim Rivers, newly installed lead pastor of Embassy City Church. "Embassy City is a place where people meet Jesus in a real, authentic way through engaging worship and relevant Bible teaching.”
Rivers looks forward to continuing the "Kingdom Culture" footprint laid by Ross of teaching kids, youth, young adults and adults to be ambassadors for the kingdom of God. He plans for Embassy City to remain a pillar in the faith community in Dallas/Fort Worth and beyond as they continue to grow in discipleship, leadership and community. Under his leadership,
Embassy City Church will permeate every area of life including the marketplace and will develop, equip and deploy its residents (members) for their purpose.
Our Vision:
Come, Grow, Go.
Embassy City is a spirit-filled church answering God’s call to see the city of Irving and surrounding areas reached with the message of Jesus Christ. We want to see you COME to know God, GROW in faith, and GO, change the world.
Statement of Faith
God The Father
God the Father is the creator and sustainer of all things, and He created the universe in love. He created man in His own image for fellowship and called man back to Himself through Christ after the rebellion and fall of man.
The Son
Jesus Christ is eternally God. He was together with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the beginning, and through Him all things were made. For man’s redemption, He left heaven and became incarnate by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary; henceforth, He is forever one Christ with two natures—God and man—in one person.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God, the Lord, and giver of life, who was active in the Old Testament and given to the Church in fullness at Pentecost. He empowers the saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature, and conforms us to the image of Christ. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, subsequent to conversion, releases the fullness of the Spirit and is evidenced by the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
