Find a place to serve others
Being a part of the Church is more than just showing up on Sunday, it’s caring for our brothers and sisters as we all seek to grown in our relationship with Christ and each other. Joining one of our teams gives you the opportunity to serve others while also getting connected and making deeply rooted relationships with those serving alongside you. We love our volunteers and know we couldn’t do this without you; thank you for considering being a part of the team!

Care
Couple to Couple Mentoring
Marriage can be challenging, and seeking the help of another couple can provide hope, direction, and support on the path to a God-honoring marriage. Our hope is to come alongside couples and worth through issues that are hindering them from experiencing a healthy, biblical marriage.

Our Prayer Team exists to cover the Riv family in prayer, giving thanks in all circumstances and bringing our requests to God. At Riv, we have a weekly email that goes out with requests and praises received from all of our venues.

Pre-marriage Mentoring
Engaged couples need a biblical foundation on which to build a successful marriage, as well as ongoing support and care in the first years of marriage. It’s our hope that couples who are entering marriage would learn to apply the Gospel to their lives and seek to love and care for their spouse biblically and unselfishly. We hold our pre-marriage course three times per year.
