MISSION STATEMENT & VALUES
Mission Statement: We are a community learning to glorify God, live in His presence, and walk in the ways of Jesus.
Intimacy with Jesus is what we as humans were created for. To know and be known by the Lord, to worship and love the triune God with our entire beings, and to walk in tune with the Spirit of God. This is the foundation for how we view and walk in life. This reality informs our love for all people, self and creation and is the heartbeat for all that we do at River House Youth.
Christian Community provides a place for people to belong and walk along peers and mentors who are learning how to follow God with their life. In every season of life in which a youth is a part of our community, we will guide them to their true identity, which is sons and daughters of God made in his image.
Safety provides protection to be open to your pain, which is the first step to healing. Safety is essential for an honest and thriving family, we desire within the body of Christ. We’ll strive to be a safe place for youth to encounter a powerful, radical, loving God.
Radical Disciples that have experienced the life changing love of God and have been equipped to be messengers and ministers of the gospel of Jesus is our aim. We want our youth to graduate from the ministry as ones who love to glorify God, live in His presence, and walk in the ways of Jesus.
YOUTH GROUP: WHAT TO EXPECT
Fellowship through games, hanging out, events, camps, retreats, and outings. Let’s have some fun together and make memories!
Worship through music, prayer, art, scripture, etc. Fixing our hearts on Jesus and praising Him is essential to the DNA of our community.
Teaching through preaching, panels, videos, podcasts with the Word of God being the anchor of all content and allowing the Holy Spirit to move and lead.
Discipling through small group meetings and one on one conversations to draw students to the heart of Jesus and connection with one another.
