"People of all ages came, and many brought friends or relatives who don't usually come to church. Everyone felt they had a wonderful time, and appreciated the opportunity to sing some of the wonderful gospel music along with the band. From young adults who got fully involved to seniors who danced down the aisle, everyone was touched by the simplicity and sincerity of the music. It warmed our hearts, and people are hoping we will have the band come back to Knox again."
(Knox United Church, Vancouver)

"I t was great fun ... but it wasn’t just fun."
(Highlands United)

"T he sound that the RiverCity group makes is wonderful ... they make pain feel sweet when shared between players and they make a joyous sound of praise together. In fact, I began to feel that the sound of their playing is what a Christian community "sounds like" when it performs the gospel in its life ... shared pain and lament, shared joy and jubilation ... with each player of the gospel having a unique "voice" ... together making a traveling pilgrim band of saints, marching in. I hope that we can bring the RiverCity gospellers back sooner than later."
(Ed Searcy, University Hill Congregation)

"Wanted to tell you how great last Sunday was. It was simple and sincere and very moving. The best worship I’ve experienced in a long time."
(Deer Lake United)

"I wish to express the gratitude of the VST Auxiliary for the joyful experience of hearing your River City Gospel Band. I’m sure there wasn’t a single member of the congregation who was able to keep feet from tapping or body from swaying to your rhythms, springing as they did from your very hearts.

May God grant each one of you many more opportunities to share these songs of faith with such joyous energy. Truly we were deeply blessed by your presence."
(VST Auxiliary).
