Serve Team Search
Each campus has many amazing teams of volunteers. Join a team, make new friends, and own the atmosphere at your campus through serving on a Serve Team.
First Saturday Serve
On the first Saturday of each month, teams meet at various locations to share God's love in practical ways by caring for the felt needs within our community.
As a member of this group, you will be part of The Best Christmas Ever, a Christian nonprofit organization that helps families who experience hardships due to no fault of their own. Do you want to make a HUGE impact on your community? God has given us each many gifts and strengths that we can use to make the world such a beautiful place. We can come together and create such an impactful group of giving and generosity! I, personally, see what heaven and God has given to me and I want nothing more than to give it all back to Him. I would love to create a group of individuals within River Valley Church that all have hearts to give back to those who are in need of SO much hope. Join me and let's make a difference!
Serving opportunities will be shared with this group and participants can participate as it works with their schedule and/or interest. No set meeting times or commitments. Emails will be sent out as opportunities become available. Let's radically serve and love our community so that more people will come to know Jesus.
In 2022, Habitat for Humanity will be building 5 new homes in Faribault and River Valley Church is partnering with them to make it happen! Both skilled and unskilled laborers are welcome! (Must be 18+) Signing up for this Small Group will enable you to be contacted whenever we are scheduling a "Build Day" and other updates about the projects and opportunities to serve.
