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
My Purpose will Stand
(Middle School, Grades 5-8)
God is present and active in the world, orchestrating all things to serve His eternal purposes. All His purposes are good and right, and are accomplished with perfection. As the Sovereign Creator of the world (and everything in it!) God has the right, power, wisdom, and righteousness to rule the universe.
The goal of My Purpose Will Stand is to so reveal God and His glorious work of providence that through the Holy Spirit’s work in the teaching of His Word, students would respond to God in faith as they look for God’s providence in all things—meditating on His works, seeing the big picture of God’s work in the world, and seeing the hand and heart of Jesus in all circumstances of their lives.
Tools of the TRade
(High School, Grades 9-12)
This year, the highschoolers are studying upstairs in the Fellowship Hall alongside the adults of Riverview in an intergenerational course that is useful for all.
The goal of this study is to help students to understand basic tools for interpreting the Bible and to put these tools into practice. As we believe that all of the Bible is useful for teaching and training, we want to be able to confidently study all of Scripture.
This course approaches the practice of interpreting the Bible from many angles, including studying how the canon of Scripture came to be, understanding the history of translation, delving into the differences of translation methods, and even going back to the basics of grammar to practice basic sentence structure.
The class then will take all of those basic tools and use them in the class to practice interpretation together.
Wednesdays @ 6:30 PM
Acts (grades 7-12)
This year will be a focused study of Acts on the acts of the early church as they begin to spread the gospel throughout the world. We want to serve our King well and be bold and faithful with our lives. This book is going to be discussed both understanding the work and implications of the beginning of the church and in the application of how we live in light of the book of Acts. After the 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.
