The Promise Principle | Derek Blumberg & Tim Short

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:30 AM

You are welcome here! 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 Lifegroups. 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.

We look forward to meeting you! - Derek, Tim and the Saturday morning men. Connect with us: Call or text Derek at 952-239-2777. Call or text Tim at (952) 807-2553

Crosstown

Tuesday at 6:00 PM

Alpha is a Core Group at River Valley. Alpha is a series of sessions over 8 weeks that explores the Christian faith (Tuesdays, Feb 6-April 2, 6-8pm). 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 a discussion together to learn more. 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 Alpha season.
