Welcome to River of Life, an Apostolic Pentecostal Church! 

We are honored that you’ve stopped by our website and hope that if you haven’t visited our church, you will make plans to do so in the near future.

Pastor Brandon Bechert, his wife Chayla, and their two children are committed to growing the kingdom of God in Bay City, Michigan. In April of 2022, they visited this area after hearing there was a need and they firmly believe that God directed them to move here. They have a heartfelt burden for this area and plan on giving their all to the people of Bay City! 

River of Life on Bay City’s West Side is an Apostolic church that preaches and teaches the life changing message that began in Acts chapter 2! We believe that there is hope for every individual through the anointing power of the Holy Ghost. We believe in power packed services where the anointing of God shows up and breaks the yoke of sin in each person’s life and gives them the power to begin a life living above the sin that once had them bound. 

We are excited to be a part of the Tri-City area and want you to know that there is a God in heaven who loves you more than you could ever imagine. 

Our church will love, help, encourage, and motivate you to embrace God as our world becomes more troubling and chaotic. There is a home for you at River of Life. 

Come and experience the difference!
