Our History
Founded and led by Rev. Dr. Steve Cordle, The River Network International began in 2016 as the church planting arm of Crossroads Church, Pittsburgh. In 2022, TRNI became the first Strategic Partner named by the Global Methodist Church. We have been equipping church planters and disciple-makers around the world for more than 10 years. We have helped Global Methodist Church Annual Conferences to train and develop plans for hundreds of new churches.
The River Network International takes its name from the vision in Ezekiel 47:9: “so where the river flows everything will live.” TRNI seeks to make the living water of Jesus Christ available to the world through helping you to multiply disciples, and leaders, and churches.
