Jason Rost

Rooted in Jon Tyson's books "Intentional Fatherhood" (https://www.amazon.com/Intentional-Father-Practical-Courage-Character/dp/0801018684) and "Fighting Shadows"; this group explores a Christian approach to masculinity and the specific application of raising young men in an uncertain world. The group is scheduled for a six-month journey (with holiday breaks) with the potential to extend based on group consensus.

The Promise Principle | Mark Johnson & Stew Ballinger

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:00 AM

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: This group will be for an hour on Saturday mornings at 7:00 - 8:00 AM at Panera Bread 15052 Gleason Path - Apple Valley - EXCEPT the Saturday of a scheduled AV Campus Men's Breakfast BRING a Bible, Notebook, and Pen or Highlighter(s).

My Father’s Workshop

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:36 PM

So many men are left to figure it all out on their own. It? Life, marriage, identity, purpose, parenting, house stuff, faith, finances, all of it. There are lots of helpful classes, books, and other resources and many are excellent. And, of course, there's YouTube. But sometimes we just need other men to walk alongside us, listen, build us up, and share life. We will be in the wood shop, the kitchen, and at the fire pit. We will create, cook, eat, listen, learn, pray, share our stories. Special speakers will be invited for certain topics. Geared especially for men in 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. (Initially set for 10 weeks, but let's see where God takes us!)

Explore | Eagan | Fall 2024

Eagan

Monday at 6:30 PM

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. We meet from 6:30pm - 8pm. We start September 9th & childcare is included.

Wife Link; Beyond Betrayal | Diane Zachary

Apple Valley

Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Finding freedom from the trauma of marital betrayal. In the form of the River Valley Freedom Bible study we will work through this together as sisters in Christ. Whether through porn, strip clubs, massage parlors or even affairs (solicited online) or otherwise by our husbands is devastating for a spouse. Learning to trust God in this situation and coming to a new understanding of what & why this has happened in your marriage is the first step to healing. You may feel all alone, but I assure you… you are not! U.S. statistics show that 1 in 5 mobile searches are for porn in the U.S. proving this is an epidemic! The enemy seeks to kill and destroy and this tactic has been used for this purpose for thousands of years. We will learn to pray, put on our armor and fight the battle to save families.
