Pastors Dale & Teresa Buchanan have been the Senior Pastors of RIO East Church since its founding in 2004, and have been a vital asset to the entire RIO Network of Churches. They both share a passion for God's people and His church. The couple were both raised in East Tennessee and have been married for over forty-five years. They have a son (Jason) and a daughter (Misti), along with three granddaughters.

We are so thankful for our Pastors and their families, and all they do for our church body.
