Our Story
Two Rivers Church started with a dream and calling in Pastors Will and Crystal’s hearts to birth a life-giving church in Binghamton to transform the world by leading people to Jesus. In 2012 they packed up everything and moved their family from Springfield, MO, to Binghamton, NY to pursue this vision.
This dream became a reality when 300 people gathered on Sunday, February 24, 2013 at the Regal Cinema in Binghamton to launch Two Rivers Church. Since then, we have experienced amazing growth, reaching people throughout the NY & PA area, seen thousands of lives changed by the love of Jesus, helped plant hundreds of life-giving churches nationally and globally, launched the Hope Foundation of Binghamton to serve those in need in our community and Kindgom Builders to serve those in need around the world. We’ve been in awe as God continues to build a beautiful, thriving church family in multiple locations. Through it all, the vision of a life-giving church for New York and Pennsylvania remains the same, and we invite you to be a part of the next chapter of what God is doing here at Two Rivers. Welcome home!

Underdog Pastor Network
Pastor Will leads a network of underdog pastors serving in the Northeast. We believe that following Jesus qualifies you as an underdog in our world. We also believe God loves underdogs! Your vision and dream should be so big that only God can accomplish it.
We know what it feels like to have no money, no people, no facilities, and a burning passion to reach lost people. When you are an underdog, you have many voices telling you about the obstacles. You need to surround yourself with people who see the obstacles with faith. People with practical experience and who know how to depend on the miraculous provision of God.
We want to connect you to other underdogs attempting to do the impossible in the Northeast. If you are an Underdog Pastor with a big dream, let’s do this together!
