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.

Monday at 6:30 PM

Join us for our Winter/Spring semester as we study Hebrews: A Faith That Endures. Hebrews 12:2-3 ...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer [author] and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

As a church family, we will be diving deeper into our vision for this year through a unified 4-week small group series--join the momentum to ASK, SEEK, and PRAY together! Each week, we will discuss and build upon the topic from the previous Sunday's message, guided by key Scriptures and questions provided in a booklet. A group for women who want to go deeper into scripture to both deepen their relationship with God and to grow in their faith. Our aim is to allow the word of God to transform our minds and our hearts in fellowship with a community of believers looking for the same.

Empower | Apple Valley Winter 2024

Apple Valley

Tuesday at 6:30 PM

There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled, empowered life! This eight-week Bible study will instruct, encourage 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. Empower will meet every Tuesday beginning Feb 6 through Tuesday, Apr 9, 6:30 to 8:00pm. Childcare is provided. We will be meeting in Suite 1000. Please note*** It is strongly recommended that you attend the Alpha and Freedom courses before attending Empower.

The Promise Principle | Patrick Johnson & Benjamin Berry

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:30 AM

You are welcome here, come as you are! 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 Small Groups. 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.
