Minnesota Youth Convention

Apple Valley will be splitting YTH+ into Middle School and High School groups. This group is for middle school students. Through YTH+ students will build community and grow deeper in their faith outside of a Wednesday night. We would love for your student to join us for YTH+! 

We’ve created this class for you and your child as a first step towards his or her Water Baptism at River Valley Church. We absolutely believe that Water Baptism is important. It’s the next step after a person commits their life to Christ. This class is designed to answer the big questions of Water Baptism: What is Water Baptism? How do I know if my child is ready to be baptized? What should I expect? How can we celebrate Water Baptism as a family?

This class is designed for parents to attend with their child (7-11 years old) wanting to be Water Baptized.

Looking for a way for your child to grow in their relationship with God and others? Interested in a place for your child to build friendships, explore God’s word, and form leadership skills? Then KidsU is exactly what you’ve been looking for! Join us each week for tons of fun, friendships, and faith-building activities! Through KidsU, your child will go through 10 weeks of programming in the "Schools" we have formed. For Fall 2024 we will be going through the School of the Bible, and the School of Sport where your child will be placed in age-appropriate, gender-specific small groups to go through more in-depth teaching, reflection, and fun! Your child will be led by leading role models and have practical application and hands-on learning in the process.

Every Tuesday morning from 6-7am our campus will be opening our doors to provide space for you to come and spend intentional time in prayer and seeking God's presence. We believe that as we are setting this time aside every week we are going to see God continue to move and do miraculous things in our church, our city, and in your life! Come join us Tuesday mornings!

Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) is an exciting ministry geared towards helping children memorize God’s Word in a team environment. Not only will children’s IQ for God’s Word increase, but so will their love for it. Additionally, the friendships they make while competing against other teams throughout the state are priceless. Practices are held weekly at the Campus and competitions are held once a month at an area church.

You were created for a greater purpose. Your greatest wish is to be used to accomplish something significant. You dream, you imagine, and you can actually see your purpose become realities because of the abilities that God has placed inside of you. You are made to be fulfilled, engaged and to cast out all fears, doubts and uncertainties so that you can stand out and rise up to be the person you were created to be.

We strive to see students of every age discover who they are in Jesus Christ. We know that this discovery will lead you to walk in the God-given power of the Holy Spirit and will allow you to radically change your culture.

Youth meets Wednesdays nights for a time of deep worship, dynamic messages, and powerful events. We believe that students, more than any other age group, need to connect with a real God who can relate to them in a real world.
