What's Happening at the River?

Here is what's happening at River Oaks Church!

Sunday, November 24

Guest worship leader, Daniel Heffington, will lead us in worship for our morning service. We will have an Evening of Worship and Praise with Daniel Heffington at 7:00 PM.

Daniel Heffington is a singer/songwriter who pairs unforgettable melodies with driving rhythms. A native Virginian, his original songs are steeped in the musical heritage and tradition of the Southeast and fit in with the genre-defying soundscape of the modern era. He’s known for the energy and passion of his live performances that feature soulful vocals and poignant lyrics.

In addition to recording and releasing original music, Daniel has been leading worship in churches since the age of 15. Using music to celebrate the hope of the Gospel is the continuing thread of Daniel's art and ministry. He is one of the worship leaders at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia and regularly shares music with churches around Virginia.

With over 10 years of solo music experience, Daniel has played for crowds ranging from intimate living room audiences to headlining university concert events. His music connects with incredibly diverse audiences as he communicates stories of life, love, and hope through his songs. This has given Daniel the opportunity to take his music into music clubs, concert venues, summer camps, homes, and churches alike.

Daniel has collaborated with artists such as: Mac Powell (of Third Day), Mark Schultz, The Last Bison, and many others.

When he’s not making music, Daniel can be found cooking, exploring, speaking at Generation Joshua events, and hanging out at his favorite local coffee shops. Daniel lives in Virginia with his wife, Abigail and their daughters, Ellie and Piper.
