Youth

The Youth Ministry at River House is composed of junior high (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12). We are a community learning to glorify God, live in His presence, and walk in the ways of Jesus. Join us Tuesday nights to enter into the River House community!

VALUES

Intimacy with Jesus is what we as humans were created for. To know and be known by the Lord, to worship and love our God and to walk in tune with the Spirit of God. This is the foundation for how we view and walk in life. This informs our love for all people and creation.

True Community provides a place for people to belong. We seek to be a place to experience all that comes in life: joys, sorrows, laughter, tears, friendship, memories, and connection; all while guiding people to their true identity, daughters and sons of the King of kings. 

Unity in diversity brings you into a larger narrative of God. This brings you into a kingdom lens and furthers heaven on earth now. Unity in essentials, diversity in non-essentials, charity in all things.

Safety provides protection to be open to your pain, which is the first step to healing. Safety and trust are essential for a thriving family. A safe space creates trust, trust allows for the birth of vulnerability, and vulnerability springs forth intimacy. 

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.
