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 630pm. If you have children, childcare is provided, you can check them in and drop them off at 615pm. Note, due to a time change for core groups, dinner will not be provided in Kids, so please plan accordingly. Alpha will begin on Tuesday, Feb 6 in the Lounge.

Alpha is a Core Group that unpacks what we believe at River Valley Church. What do we believe about the Bible? Who is Jesus? How do I share my faith? If you have questions about being a Christian that you want to find genuine answers to, this is a safe place to get those answers! We share a meal around a table, listen to a talk on the week’s topic, and then have a discussion together to learn more about God and get to know one another in a deeper way.

Monday at 6:30 PM

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 (Mondays, Feb 5-Mar 25). For this season, free childcare will be offered with limited capacities on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please indicate within this registration, the name and age of the child[ren] you would like to bring to childcare for the duration of the Explore season.

Monday at 6:30 PM

There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled empowered life! This 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 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 daily. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit and 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. Are you ready to get started? There will be homework. This will be an interactive group, so please plan to be prepared to share weekly what you are learning from the Holy Spirit. This group is nine consecutive Monday nights. It begins on Monday, February 5, and ends on Monday, April 1. Childcare is available on a limited basis. A separate registration is required. NOTE: If you have not been through the River Valley 'Alpha' core group yet, we would strongly encourage you to join that small group before attending Empower. It will be helpful to you to receive what God has in store for you.
