HOnoring our Faithful Sheperds

Pastor Randy

& Sister Wendy

Capistrano

A Journey of Faith, Family, and Service

Our Lead Pastor, Randy Capistrano has led the church with wisdom and unwavering faith. He honors God's Word in a way that allows the members of the church to come as they are. The River Church has grown into a vibrant, loving community where lives are transformed and souls find a home.


We honor Pastor Randy and wife, Sister Wendy for creating a place where everyone—from the broken to the seeking, from the doubting to the devoted—can walk through the doors and belong.


The church has watched them raise their children RJ and Kristen. Together they lead with authenticity, showing their congregation what it means to build a life of faith, love, and service—not just from the pulpit, but from the heart of a family committed to walking this journey together.


Through it all,  their partnership in ministry is a living testament to faith lived out in real time, in real life, with real love. Together, they're not just leading a church—they're building a family.

Visionary Leadership

We are deeply grateful for Pastor Randy's visionary leadership and his heart for creating a welcoming environment. Along side wife, Wendy, their commitment to this mission reflects the heart of Christ's love and has transformed our church into a true community where people from all walks of life can explore God's principles and build meaningful connections.

Transforming Lives

Pastor Randy doesn't just preach about drawing closer to God—he creates pathways for people to experience it. 

  • Mornings in the Secret Place (MSP)

    He opens the door in the morning via Zoom, inviting the church family and seekers from everywhere to start their day in God's presence. It's more than a devotional; it's a sacred gathering where hearts are stirred, Scripture comes alive, and authentic relationships with God are cultivated.

  • Financial Peace University (FPU)

    Empowering families to break free from financial stress and discover the freedom that comes from stewarding resources God's way.

  • Kids Club

    But perhaps closest to his heart is Kids Club —a bold outreach into public schools where Pastor Randy and Sister Wendy and his team are planting seeds of eternal significance. In a world where children need hope more than ever, Kids Club brings the light of Jesus directly to young hearts and their families, sharing message of God's love where it's needed most.
