God is for healthy marriages. A strong marriage with God at the center creates a firm foundation for a family. This small group is designed for couples in any season of marriage. We believe that your marriage will be blessed with this small group and you'll be able to connect with other married couples at River Valley. We'll dive into biblical principles for your marriage and work through content from "Marriage on the ROCK".

The Promise Principle | Aaron Topp

Eagan

Tuesday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" 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 Small Groups. 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.

Common Ground

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Christ calls for unity in His Church and as Christ followers we are called to love our neighbor. In our current culture, however, many topics are leading us to disagreement and separation rather than unity and love. Discussions about race, diversity, and justice feel increasingly volatile and divisive. Rather than looking to politics, pop culture, or social media, we must look to the Word of God as our source of truth. Our unity and love in the church is meant to be our first witness to the world. We must find a common ground to bridge the growing divide and bring healing to relationships in our churches, families, and communities. In this group we will seek Christ, learn with an open mind, and build unity through Bible study and listening to the experience of others. We will meet for 8 weeks; every Wednesday from April 17 - June 5, in the Crosstown Lounge from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.

Divorce Care

Apple Valley

Thursday at 6:30 PM

DivorceCare is a biblically based, Christ-centered support group seminar. Each session shows a 30-minute video followed by a small group discussion about the video. The DivorceCare videos present experts, ministers, and Christian counselors discussing divorce-related issues such as depression, anger, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Real people share their stories of how they deal with the pain and heartbreak of divorce and separation. During the week between meetings, group members complete a daily Bible study and practical exercises to help them heal from their hurt and pain. DivorceCare is for people who are separated or divorced. A workbook costs $20, which will be collected on the first night we meet. (please let us know if you need help with the cost of the book and we can take care of that)
