Conversations about Jesus: A family small group

Lakeville

Wednesday at 6:00 PM

This group is geared toward Lakeville campus families looking to grow deeper in their connections at our new church. The book is designed to help parents understand who Jesus said he is, what evidence there is for Jesus's life, death and resurrection, and how we can have conversations with our kiddos about these topics. Parents will meet, while kids are in the same home connecting under the supervision of a babysitter. Book: Talking with Your Kids about Jesus by Natasha Crain

Sunday at 9:00 AM

You may hear us say the phrase “Our Heart is Global” often throughout your time at River Valley, but what does it really mean? In Explore, we walk through the great commission that Jesus gave to his followers before He left this earth. Our mandate is to make disciples from every part of the world. Each and every one of us has a part to play in that, whether it is to pray, to mobilize others, to send or to go! This group is for everyone to discover how God wants to use them to accomplish His great commission.

Let's journey together! Join me for a sharpening book study that will prepare us to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, whether that is across the street or the oceans. The Insanity of Obedience is a bold challenge to global discipleship. Nik Ripken exposes the danger of safe Christianity and calls readers to something greater.
