Find Your Place to Serve

This is your invitation to be part of what God is doing at River Valley Church and in our local communities.

Serve Teams

Each campus has amazing teams of volunteers. From the parking lot to the platform, Serve Teams make a difference in the lives of everyone who comes through our doors. Join a team, make new friends and own the atmosphere at your campus!

Cafe

The Cafe Team plays an important role in creating a warm, welcoming environment for our guests. You are one of the first people that a guest encounters, and you have the opportunity to help create an atmosphere where people feel at home. Your responsibilities on the Cafe Team include preparing the cafe, brewing the coffee, setting out bakery items and cleaning up before and after services.
