Welcome to Ruah International Ministry! We are a Spirit-led, family-oriented, and multicultural church in Lorton, VA. Our mission is simple — to make disciples of all nations and teach them to follow Jesus (Matthew 28:18–20).
Join us this weekend to experience passionate worship, powerful teaching, and a loving community where lives are transformed by the presence of God.
Ruah International Ministry is more than a Sunday gathering — it’s a family. Here you’ll find people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds coming together with one heart: to follow where the Spirit leads. We believe in the power of prayer, the truth of God’s Word, and the strength of community.
From weekly Bible studies to Spirit-filled worship nights, every moment at Ruah is designed to help you grow deeper in your relationship with Christ and discover the purpose He’s placed inside you.
Families are at the heart of Ruah. From children to seniors, we are intentional about creating a safe, nurturing environment where every generation is valued. Whether you’re raising kids, building a marriage, or walking through life transitions, Ruah is a place where families grow stronger together through faith, support, and shared life.
We are a beautiful, multicultural church where people from all nations and backgrounds come together as one family. At Ruah, everyone is welcome — no matter your story, culture, or background — because we believe Heaven looks like unity.
WHY VISIT RUAH?
Community at Ruah goes beyond Sunday services. Through small groups, outreach, prayer gatherings, and service opportunities, we create meaningful spaces where people build authentic relationships, serve others, and make a real impact in our city. You won’t just attend church here—you’ll belong.
We are committed to the Word of God. Every message, class, and small group is rooted in Scripture and Spirit-led, equipping you to grow deeper in your faith and live out God’s purpose for your life.
Our children’s ministry helps kids grow in their faith in a fun, safe, and Spirit-filled environment. From nursery to elementary, we teach kids the Word of God and help them experience His presence at their level.
Cell Groups are where discipleship and relationship happen! These small groups meet for prayer, Bible study, and real conversations that help you go deeper in your walk with Christ and build lasting friendships.
We believe everyone has a place to serve. Join one of our Dream Teams to use your gifts, make a difference, and partner with what God is doing through Ruah — from worship and media to outreach and hospitality.
Pastor Michael and First Lady Adeeba Rivera lead Ruah International Ministry with a passion for seeing lives transformed by the presence and power of God. Pastor Michael’s teaching is Spirit-led and rooted in Scripture, equipping believers to grow in faith and live out the Great Commission.
Together, they have a heart for people of all ages and backgrounds and are committed to creating a loving, welcoming environment where everyone can encounter God. Whether it’s preaching the Word, praying for others, or equipping leaders, they lead with humility and a desire to see the Kingdom of God advance in Lorton and beyond.
Our Cell Groups and special events are where discipleship and community come alive. Whether you’re gathering midweek for Bible study, attending a Worship Night, or joining a prayer gathering, every moment is designed to help you grow spiritually and connect with others.
At Ruah, we believe life change happens in circles, not just rows — so come be part of a group or event that will strengthen your faith and relationships.
