As you browse our site, you will find the ministries we offer. it is our prayer and desire that RIO East would be a benefit to you and your family! A little History The East campus of Restoration International Outreach, (RIO) had it’s very first service at the Rocky Branch Community Center in Walland, Tennessee on November 24th, 2004. East was birthed as a group of 54 individuals from RIO who shared the vision of Senior Pastor Ronnie Hepperly. This group of people chose to get out of their comfort zones and allow God to use them in order to extend what He was doing at RIO to the other parts of the local area. The East congregation met at Rocky Branch for six months. The Average attendance on Sunday morning was 191. East then moved to the Heritage High School where we stayed for another seven months. The average attendance on Sunday morning grew to 229. On January 15th, 2006, the Lord allowed us to purchase our current facility at 1412 East Broadway. We are currently averaging 344 on Sunday mornings. Thank you for visiting our website, may God bless you and your family today.

About Our Church: We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead. That he ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor.
