BIBLE STUDY

Bible Study is held from 9:30–10:30 every Sunday morning and there are multiple studies to choose from: a young adults class (college/career), several studies through books of the Bible, a class for 7th–12th graders, along with several others. Ask at the Welcome Desk for more information and directions to the class you are interested in.

SUNDAY WORSHIP

Our worship service starts at 10:45 a.m. and goes until noon.

We begin with worship through song. We are a plural teaching ministry; there are five elders who also preach on a rotation, usually teaching through one particular theme.

CHILD CARE

There is child care for children ages newborn–7th grade during the worship service. Go to the check in desk to ask about which class your child should attend.

LIFE GROUPS

Life groups are a key aspect of our church community. Most meet weekly in the home of a group member (usually the leader’s home). We believe that walking through life closely with other believers that you can truly be yourself which is one of the best ways to experience personal growth. If you are interested in joining a life group, speak to Clint Landes.

YOUTH GROUP

Youth Group (Impact) meets every Sunday evening from 6–8 p.m. at River Valley. This is for any youth 7th—12th grade; any kids in those age groups are welcome! See Jacob Kesling with any questions.

FOOD PANTRY

The Food Pantry is open the last two Thursdays of every month. It is open to those in need of food assistance, resources, spiritual guidance, or just a friendly face to talk with. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Enter through Door 5 (north end of the building). Call (937) 698-4048 if you have any questions.

AT RIVER VALLEY…

• Families are encouraged to teach and train their children into the image of Jesus, in both word and deed.
• Faith alone is taught as the only way to live out our lives.
• Accountability to biblical standards are supported and taught.
• Unity is known to be achieved only by our connection with the head Jesus.
• The Spirit of God works in and through the individual believer for present counsel and direction.
