Our Pastors

Pastors Ben and Jacky Kroeske came to the Netherlands in 2013 with the vision for the Church burning in their hearts! Ben, as native Dutch, and Jacky, from Puerto Rico, met each other while attending the River Bible Institute in Tampa, Florida.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Theology, they were hired as full-time staff at the River at Tampa Bay Church and Revival Ministries International. In 2013, they were ordained through Revival Ministries International Ministerial Association for the work the Lord has called them to do in the Netherlands. Since then they have been leading the River Church Amsterdam.

Podcast of the River Church Amsterdam

Get equipped with practical & spiritual truths for daily life.

Millions of people are far from God. We want to reach them so they can be close to God by sharing the Good News through every possible avenue. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, and as a Church,  it’s our joy and privilege to continue that mission today! 

You can’t make a difference in this world without being passionate. The Holy Spirit came to fill us with the love, power, and passion of God so that we can go and make an impact on our generation. We want to be a Church where you not only receive knowledge ABOUT God, but where you can encounter Him personally and intimately.

There’s a lot of work to do; in the church in Amsterdam, Bibleschool, evangelism and more. Too big for one man or woman to accomplish alone. That’s why we work hard to see leaders raised up in their full, God-given potential so they can take their place and make a difference in this world.

CORE VALUES

WE LOVE GOD.

WE LOVE PEOPLE.

WE ARE FAMILY.

WE ARE WE ARE ETERNALLY MINDED.

WE ARE EXCELLENT.

WE ARE GENEROUS.

WE BELIEVE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
