High School Studies – Starting Nov. 1 

We are starting a new group for High Schoolers only.  Monday nights 6pm at the church.  In a time where information is everywhere and a chorus of perspectives are always present; now more than ever, we need to develop that Anchor that grounds us to the Truth of God’s Word. In this group, we seek to engage hard questions in order to know more about God and grow in deeper relationship with Him.  Questions email Julia or Matt at youth@rivercentral.org

Young Adults Group – Starting Nov. 6

We are starting a new group for Young Adults; Upperclassmen-College Age.  The first Saturday of every month we will meet at the church at 10am.  We are starting Nov.6th! Adulting is hard! No matter how prepared you feel, it is challenging to make that transition from living at home, to going to college and starting your life on your own. Our goal, is to create a community around this stage. Where young adults who are starting off can share the struggles and encourage each other. And those who haven’t quite taken those steps can have an extra team to support and cheer them on as they take their first steps. Questions email Julia or Matt at youth@rivercentral.org
