Good News
Tampa Bay
River members taking the Gospel to every corner of the Bay — 24 zones across the region, outreaches 3–4 times each week.
The Vision
Birthed out of a passion for souls and a desire to see the lost reached with the Gospel, Good News Tampa is an opportunity for River members to join together in evangelizing the greater Tampa Bay area.
We are establishing 24 different zones throughout the region to help identify and mobilize soul-winning opportunities right in your community. Through River Missions, The River at Tampa Bay Church will offer outreach opportunities 3–4 times each week.
Members can sign up to participate in community outreaches, SWAT teams, nursing home ministry, and daily soul-winning campaigns—all with one purpose: to see souls saved, lives changed, and the Tampa Bay area shaken by the power of God and transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
24 Zones. One Harvest.
