This will be a place for Men of crosstown to be connected to events happening specifically for men, whether it is a serving opportunity, sports activities, or simply a chance to get together as men and sharpen each other. The Idea is that we can grow our ministry here at crosstown by being better connected as a whole. If you have an event you would like to add to the calendar, please share and let's fill up our calendar.

Core Group

Alpha | Woodbury Fall 2023

Woodbury

Monday at 6:30 PM

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. Arrive at 6:15pm. If you have children, childcare is provided; you can check them in and drop them off at 6pm. Dinner is provided, but if you have food allergies, plan ahead and eat your own food. Alpha will begin at 6:30pm and go until 8:00pm. This group starts on Monday, September 18th, in the Main Auditorium. Our group will meet for 9 weeks, ending on Monday, November 13th. Also, mark your calendar for the Holy Spirit Retreat on Saturday, November 4th.

Empower | Kim & Rick Kissner | Winter 2023

Crosstown

Thursday at 6:30 PM

There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled empowered life! This eight-week Bible study will instruct, encourage, experience and inspire you to walk in all that Jesus has made available to you through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He imparts. These gifts are vital and need to be used in order to be effective witnesses for Him. In this study you will learn about the unseen world, which is called the Spirit realm. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, we interact with it on a daily basis. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit how they are used throughout the Old and New Testament by ordinary people. Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Lord through the lessons on prayer and intercession. (Strong RVC Recommendation to take our Freedom Class prior to Empower.) Are you ready to get started? We will be meeting Thursdays, March 23 - May 11th, 6:30-8:00 pm at our home: 720 Maggie Way Chanhassen, MN 55317

Explore is a Core Group designed to inspire and enlarge your global heart as we study the biblical basis of missions and hear from some of our great missionaries. At River Valley, our heart is global because God’s heart is global. That’s why we believe that every follower of Jesus Christ should explore and know their role within God’s Great Commission.

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Jon Perron

Apple Valley

Friday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" 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.
