Alpha is a Core Group that unpacks what River Valley believes. It answers questions like: Who is Jesus?, How do I read the Bible?, and Does God heal today? Each week we will begin our time together with a meal, followed teaching and discussion. Our group will meet weekly at our campus on Mondays January 23 thru March 20, 6:30pm-8pm. Dinner will be available in the lobby starting at 6pm. Please take your dinner to the maid auditorium, which is where your group will meet. We will conclude our time together by serving together on Monday March 27 7pm in Coon Rapids (ages 5+ are welcome to attend)

How (Not) to Read the Bible

Minnetrista

Saturday at 5:00 PM • Virtual

This is a small group focused on reading through the book by Dan Kimball titled “ How Not to Read the Bible” each month at 5pm on the first Saturday of the month starting on December 3, 2022. The intent is to discuss 1 part of the book per session. If there's a lot of good conversation around a single part, we'll extend the subject over multiple sessions. Discussion sessions will be virtual and an email chat will get rolling once the group begins.

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Kevin Mitchell & Dave Reynolds

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:30 AM • Virtual

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: http://leaders.rivervalley.org/promise This group will be for an hour on Saturday mornings at 7:30 - 8:30 AM at Dunn Brothers Coffee 16106 Pilot Knob Rd (across from the HyVee store) - EXCEPT the Saturday of a scheduled AV Campus Men's Breakfast (7:30am-9:00am) where we will then meet at a table at the breakfast and NOT Dunns.
