Follow our sermon series with your students on these following digital platforms!
Water Baptisms
Water Baptisms are an outward expression of an inward change in a person's life and an act of obedience as a follower of Jesus!
If your student is ready to take this next step in their faith journey, we invite them to begin a conversation with their youth pastor.
FEED
FEED is a discipleship curriculum we are integrating into our youth ministry and a study your students do not want to miss.
FEED is a huge step forward in discipling students who live in a globalized world that’s based on what’s new and what’s next on social media. - Pastor Terry Parkman, Next Gen. Pastor at River Valley Church.
Through teaching and small group discussion, your students experience deep community, grow as a Christian leader and be equipped to make a difference in this world.
