YTH+ | Shakopee

The Freedom Encounter is an impactful event designed to help you set aside time and direct your focus to listen to God and respond to His transformative voice. Through worship, teaching, and intentional reflection, you will learn practical next steps to overcome wounds and patterns from your past so that you can more fully walk out the abundant life God designed for you to live in restored joy and peace! This event is open to everyone and serves as the capstone to our Freedom core group.

YTH+ is a group for students in 6-12th grade. Through YTH+, students will build community and grow deeper in their faith outside of a Wednesday night. They will hear teachings and dive deeper into the Word through Bible Project videos and discussions. YTH+ will begin with food and fellowship, and every night will close with student-led worship and prayer. Students will then go into a "breakout" where they will learn valuable skills and teachings, grow in their faith and understanding of the Word, and so much more (breakout topics vary by season)! We would love for your student to join us for YTH+!

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.

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.

We are passionate about serving our community and are excited to get out and serve with you.
