This Wednesday (Sept 9), River Community Church will be hosting an epic Youth (grades 7-12) Fall Kickoff from 6-8:30pm. Food, gospel, games to win tickets and then a live auction to bid on prizes using the tickets. We want all our youth to come and to bring LOTS of friends. All youth are invited.

And then the following week (Wed, 9/16) will be the start of Wednesday Night THRIVE for all ages. Youth grades 5-12 will worship together and then will break into middle school and high school groups to study the book of Acts. But THRIVE is for EVERYONE of all ages- no need to be a part of RCC. Parents can drop off kids, or can be a part of the night, joining one of the adult groups. 6pm meal, 6:45-7:45 groups/classes, 7:45-8:15 organized/supervised gym time for kids, and then people can stay around after as long as they like (after 8:15pm kids younger than 7th grade should be supervised by their guardian).

High School Youth can also sign up for our Sr. High Fall Retreat Oct 23-25 in North Dakota. RCC will cover as much of the cost as needed. If you'd like to sign up, reach out!

We also love to connect youth with adult mentors. Reach out to get connected.

And we have lots of youth events that will be happening.

Older Youth (17+) can also connect with our Sunday night young adult group.

We have so many groups and events that people can plug into. If you want more information about youth ministry or any other groups/events in our church, please reach out! We have an outstanding group of young people who create amazing Christian community that your youth can be a part of!
