Encounter

Encounter Encounter is River Valley Church's 7-12 youth group that meets on Sundays from 6:30-8:00 PM.

Encounter exists to further the mission of River Valley Church of Christ by reaching out to the youth of Central Illinois. We believe it is important to share the love of Jesus Christ with young adults, because they will be not only the future leaders of this world, but also of the Church. Approximately 34% (over one third!) of young adults claim they have no religion ("nones"), compared to less t

han 20% of adults over 30. Of those who are religiously unaffiliated, 90% are not actively looking for a religion. This is where the job of the Church comes in, and Encounter, in particular. Encounter exists to reach those who are far from Christ (looking or not looking) and share with them the love that Jesus gives. We meet on Sunday evenings from 6:30-8pm, at River Valley Church of Christ, Fisher, IL. Encounter is led by River Valley Church of Christ Associate Minister Jon Scott. During a normal meeting, we have live music, a message, discussion groups, games, snacks, and fun activities. We also regularly have Encounter Outings, when we take trips to participate in fun events such as bowling, paintball, skiing, swim parties, etc. For a schedule of activities planned, please email Jon Scott at: [email protected].

If having your kids at home for Christmas break has reminded you, please contact us if you're interested in signing up for the after school program. We are seeking a minimum number of 15 commitments by December 29 to proceed with the program in January.

River Valley Church of Christ is offering an after school program for K-6th graders attending Fisher Grade School. The program starts when the students are dismissed from school and ends at 5:30pm each school day. The program will begin earlier on early dismissal days, but will not meet on days when school is closed. Students will take the school bus from the grade school to the church for arrival and must be picked up by a registered parent or guardian. All students will be served a snack daily. They will also participate in indoor and outdoor activities, and have time to start or complete homework. The program cost is $20 per day per child. There are a limited number of spots available, so please contact the church office at 217-897-1260 for an application or more information.
