Freedom | Crosstown Fall 2023

Crosstown

Tuesday at 6:00 PM

Freedom is a Core Group that equips you to live a victorious faith. Sometimes, we are simply unaware of lies we believe and wrong patterns of thinking that keep us stuck. In this 9-week group (Tuesdays, Sept 12- Nov 7), you will discover how to move forward to greater freedom in your life, faith, and future by taking a deeper look at your identity in Christ. Free dinner and free childcare will be offered with limited capacities on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration will be required for each child individually which will secure a spot in childcare for the whole Freedom session. Please register your child[ren] individually here: https://rivervalley.org/event/childcare-crosstown-4972/

Standing Firm (2 Peter and Jude)

Apple Valley

Friday at 9:30 AM

Peter and Jude were writing to people who were under pressure. The early church had fallen under the influence of false teachers, who led immoral lives and taught lies about God. Peter and Jude wrote to help the believers stand firm. In our own day we have witnessed believers who have stumbled and fallen into serious sin. All of us are under pressure. So how can we stay on track? Join us for this six week study of 2 Peter and Jude to learn how to better stand firm in your faith. We will meet for six Fridays: 6/9, 6/16, 7/14, 7/21, 8/4 and 8/11.

Family Small Group

Eagan

Sunday at 8:00 PM • Virtual

Looking to find community and connect with others in a similar stage of life? Join us we connect as couples with young kids. They say raising kids takes a village and who better than surround yourself with other believers who can encourage and speak truth into your life and marriage. Join us as we dig into different bible studies to grow in our knowledge of God's Word, parenting skills and marriage. Our group meets over zoom twice a month. We found last year when having to do our group over zoom that it actually worked well for families with little kids to find community in this way (just put your kids to bed and hop on your computer). We will be trying to meet a couple times a small group season in person for family fellowship times. Please have each spouse register for the group. Look forward to having you join us!

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Derek Severson & Zac Holm

Apple Valley

Thursday at 6:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. God is great and mighty! Men together sharpening each other through the Word of God, community and prayer. 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 We meet on Thursday mornings at 6:00 AM at Dunn Brothers in Lakeville by Hy-Vee.
