Explore is a Core Group designed to inspire and enlarge your global heart as we study the biblical basis of missions and hear from some of our great missionaries. At River Valley, our heart is global because God’s heart is global. That’s why we believe that every follower of Jesus Christ should explore and know their role within God’s Great Commission. Dinner will be available in the lobby starting at 6pm. Please take your dinner to back dressing rooms, which is where your group will meet. Group will begin promptly at 6:30pm and end at 8pm each Monday January 23 thru March 20. We will conclude our time together by serving together on Monday March 27 7pm in Coon Rapids (ages 5+ are welcome attend).

We are battling in prayer for darkness to be driven back, for America to be saved, for the Churches to be revived, and for the world to be won for our Lord Jesus Christ ! Personal prayer requests will be honored at the end of the meeting. Nightly Monday-Friday 7PM, Saturday & Sunday 6PM. Zoom Room # is 2262218119. "Now unto Him,... who is able to carry out His purpose and do super abundantly, far over and above all that we ask or think, and infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams- To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen! (Ephesians 3:20-21)
