Welcome Home Groups are your first step at River Valley Church. We want to help you discover the plan and purpose God has for your life. Whether you are just getting to know God or have been a Christ-follower for a long time, Welcome Home is for you. This 4-week Small Group will meet at the Crosstown Campus every Sunday at 11:00am, beginning June 4th. You will connect with others at our campus, build community and understand a bit more about how God made you, in order to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus and with others. We can't wait to meet you!

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. BRING a Bible, Notebook, and Pen or Highlighter(s).

Core Group

Alpha | Crosstown Fall 2023

Crosstown

Tuesday at 6:00 PM

Alpha is a Core Group at River Valley. Alpha is a series of sessions over 11 weeks that explores the Christian faith (Tuesdays, Sept 12-Nov 21). It answers questions like: Who is Jesus?, How do I read the Bible?, and Does God heal today? The format is simple: We share a meal around a table, listen to a talk on the week’s topic, and then have discussion together to learn more. For this season, 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 Alpha session. Please register your child[ren] individually here: https://rivervalley.org/event/childcare-crosstown-4972/
