“Enrolling in courses at River City was a pivotal decision in my life. My journey with River City has been nothing short of transformative, leaving an indelible mark on my spiritual growth and personal development. The depth and richness of the teachings have nourished my soul and expanded my understanding of the spiritual realm in profound ways. Each course was meticulously crafted, offering insights that have deepened my relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
What sets River City apart is not only the excellence of its curriculum but also the caliber of its instructors. Their passion, wisdom, and dedication shine through in every class, fostering an environment where learning thrives. I’ve been continually encouraged, stretched, and challenged in my spiritual walk.
My River City experience goes beyond the classroom. It has affected every element of my life, including my church, Speaking Spirit Ministries. The insights gained from these courses have equipped me to serve more effectively, to love more compassionately, and to impact others positively.
River City School of Leadership has given me the tools, knowledge, and confidence I need to face life’s challenges with faith and determination.”

Kerry-Ann Clarke
Certificate of Leadership
Completing the Certificate of Leadership Program at River City School of Leadership has given me a sincere hunger and thirst to not just read the Word of God but to understand the Word of God in its true context and meaning, allowing me to be able to pull Bible scripture, give context of the scripture, and speak amongst those of other beliefs/ faiths with not only confidence and understanding, but with a different level of compassion by standing on the unchanging Word of God.
As a leader in my professional life, I truly discovered my leadership style and how to tailor my leadership style to effectively develop, train, and empower my associates for greatness. I became very intentional about the time I chose to invest in building my associates’ skills to accomplish the tasks of their jobs successfully and meet their daily goals, with the focus of a servant’s heart. The leadership training helped to change my perspective from being of help just to get the job done, to choosing to willingly be of service for the benefit of others by honing in on my associates’ specific competencies and deficiencies and creating processes to get them to the level of competency needed to effectively do their job and excel in their positions, which then allowed the job to get done much quicker, more accurately, and with a true sense of ownership.
As a servant in the body of Christ, I have found sincere joy serving in my current position, since joining the team; however, to my surprise, my joy in serving has increased, since graduating from the Certificate of Leadership Program where I found a new level of camaraderie and connection with my teammates as we all diligently work together to accomplish our unified goal of service for the Kingdom of God.

Certificate of Leadership
Taking classes at River City School of Leadership has been exactly what I needed in this season of my life. It successfully reinforces the importance of maintaining a biblical world view. Understanding how to apply biblical truth in a hostile world is very important for Christians today. River City has done that and more for me. The classes I’ve taken have not only enhanced my biblical knowledge, but also the importance of being morally sound and spiritually mature. I’m thankful for the gift of River City School of Leadership and looking forward to completing a second year of challenge, growth, and revelation.

Certificate of Leadership
“Taking classes at River City has enabled me to dive deeper into the Word of God and gain a better understanding of it than I would have on my own, which has been huge for building my faith. They’re also incredibly helpful for me in ministry as well, knowing where in the Bible to point people when they need help has been invaluable. The leadership classes have changed so much of how I relate to people in my personal life. They have improved my relationships with my family and friends and have helped me so much with my co-workers. I’ve also really grown as a manager in my corporate job as a result of these classes. I can tell you I had no idea I would get so much from taking these courses and I am so incredibly glad I did.”
