Faith-rooted technology
Founded by Michael Saxton, a local church worship leader, Division 1 Basketball Chaplain, and faith-tech builder passionate about helping churches thrive in the digital age. River was born from a conviction that technology should serve the mission of the church, not distract from it. After years of serving both in ministry and the start-up world, Michael saw firsthand how technology could strengthen discipleship rather than distract from it. River was created to help churches steward their data well and make every visitor feel known.
"Whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
— John 7:38
