Who We Are Pastor Lynton Taylor and his wife Pastor Rose began their formal ministry assisting at Parramatta Christian Centre in 1995. In 1998 they were commissioned by the Parramatta church to re-launch a recently closed church in the Marsfield/Macquarie Park area re-naming it Ryde City Church. Whilst at this church God told Pastor Lynton and Rose to 'throw their nets on the other side' which they believed to mean to shift their focus and start reaching out towards Ryde and beyond. Even though they were located nowhere near the river at the time, Pastor Lynton and Rose also believed that God had given them the name 'River City Church'. In late 2007 they planted an evening extension service on the banks of the Parramatta River at Meadowbank. From this extension service River City Church, Meadowbank was officially launched in October 2008.
