Welcome Home is your first step at River Valley Church. You were created for a purpose, and we want to help you discover that purpose! You will build community, understand how God made you and dive deeper into your walk with Jesus. We can’t wait to meet you! This is a small group that will meet Sunday mornings from April 7th - April 28th at 10:45am in the conference room at the Eagan Campus. Once Welcome Home is complete, we encourage you to find another small group where you can continue growing in your faith as you build friendships.

The Promise Principle | Jerold Baldwin & Paul Fisher

Eagan

Saturday at 7:00 AM • Virtual

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.

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.

Men’s Bible Study | Ryan Carlson & Jesse Richards

Eagan

Thursday at 6:30 AM • Virtual

Have you been wanting to go deeper in God's Word? Then join us as we gather weekly with other men from Eagan campus to read & study the Bible together. We'll be moving through different books of the Bible, chapter by chapter. The heart of this study is to look at the context of the passage and make observations (What does it say?), Interpretations (What does it mean?), and Applications (How does God want me to apply this in my life?). Whether you're a new believer or have been walking with Jesus most your life, this group will be beneficial for you! You'll be encouraged to study the chapter beforehand and come with questions of your own to discuss. We're meeting virtually Thursday mornings 6:30-7:30am. You can even join the call from work before you clock in.

Book of Exodus | Patti’s Group

Apple Valley

Friday at 9:30 AM

This group is designed to get into God's Word, grow in your relationship with Jesus and connect to others. We will study of the second half of the book of Exodus, chapters 19–40. Through this 10 session study taught by Jen Wilkin, we will revisit the familiar scenes of the giving of the 10 Commandments, the idolatrous worship of a golden calf, and the intricate details of the tabernacle… With fresh perspective, we will learn to trace the promise of Christ throughout and discover how to live today as those who are truly free.

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)
