Riverview Youth Ministry
The goal of Riverview's student ministries is to come alongside parents as they seek to build a biblical worldview in their children as they grow into God-glorifying young adults.
Sunday Mornings @ 9 AM
Teach Me Your Way
(Middle School, Grades 5-8)
This Sunday School curriculum encourages students to surrender to Jesus in salvation and submit their minds, hearts, and wills to His way in obedience. The first several lessons of the curriculum focus on the need for salvation, and on God’s work in making idolaters into worshipers of Himself. Then, students examine the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), focusing on the inward heart attitude of a person who is submitted to Christ and His ways. The lessons explore the human tendency to worship the creation rather than the Creator, and to pursue the temporal benefits of the world over the eternal value of knowing Christ.
Spiritual Disciplines & Abiding in Jesus
(High School, Grades 9-12)
This fall, the senior high students are diving into the spiritual disciplines of the faith. God calls us to train our selves for godliness, and has given us means to do so. The fall semester seeks to equip our student to know and use these disciplines for the year and beyond.
The spring semester will be building on those foundational disciplines to make sure we keep our focus on Christ. Abiding in Jesus challenges junior high students to know Jesus as the Savior and Satisfier of their souls. Inspired by John 15, youth are taught that abiding in Jesus leads to trusting Him in all life’s situations and bearing spiritual fruit in Him.
Wednesdays @ 6:30 PM (September - May)
1 Kings (grades 7-12)
This year will be a focused study of 1 Kings where Israel spirals from the peaks of hope under Solomon to the pits of depravity under Ahab. While this can seem remote from our lives at a glance, there are many applications for our life from the Scripture that is God breathed and useful for our training in godliness. After the lesson and discussion, we play weekly-rotating games together to wrap up the evening.
Events & Service Projects
Riverview's youth regularly participate in special events and service projects that build relationships among the youth and with the church and show them what it means to love, follow, and serve Jesus. Contact Pastor Richard for more details.
