[Anglican Mission in America] 8 June 2007--This is the third church in the “Church of the Holy Spirit Family” and a Mid-Atlantic Network Church plant. The Reverend B. Keith Allen the founding rector is transitioning to the role of Associate Rector of CHS Roanoke, but will remain available to assist the new rector as needed.

The River began in the heart of the Vestry and staff of CHS Roanoke and CHS Orchard Hills during a time of prayer. The Lord gave the passion and vision to see an AMiA parish in Blacksburg. The River began in January 2005 as the Allens moved to Blacksburg to join the Sallies, a family from CHS, to begin casting the vision for the new parish. From these simple beginnings a core was built and The River began worship in September 2005 with about 20 people.
