Alpha is a Core Group that unpacks what River Valley believes. It answers questions like: Who is Jesus?, How do I read the Bible?, and Does God heal today? The format is simple: We share a meal around a table, listen to a talk on the week’s topic, and then have discussion together to learn more. We meet from 6-8pm starting 9/11 (kick off night) ending 11/20. Childcare is available.

Wednesday at 6:30 PM

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! Once Welcome Home is complete, we encourage you to find another small group where you can continue growing in your faith as you build new friendships. River Valley Kids will be running Midweek for children in K-5th grade at the same time as Welcome Home. Midweek is a place where your kids will dive deeper into the topics shared during a Sunday service with fun elements of games and treats sprinkled in. If you have a child under 5 you will need to find childcare.

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Brock Melander & Matt Walter

Apple Valley

Saturday at 8:30 AM

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 Lifegroups. 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. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: http://leaders.rivervalley.org/promise This Life Group meets for an hour on Saturday mornings at 8:30 am. We meet at Caribou Coffee located at 14638 Cedar Avenue, Apple Valley, MN 55124. (Please BRING a Bible, Notebook, and Pen or Highlighter)
