Thank you for your interest in joining the River Family Ministry Dream Team! We cannot begin to tell you how thankful and excited we are for you to join our family!

Each weekend we reach hundreds of kids and students in an exciting and active environment. Our services are filled with worship, games, small groups, and great Bible teaching of God’s values at an age-appropriate level. We are ecstatic that you can be a part of this!

Our weekend services meet at the same time as our adult services and are specifically designed for all children from birth through 8th grade with opportunities for 9th-12th graders on Sunday nights at our Marion campus. While parents and students are experiencing the life-giving worship and teaching of the main services, we are giving their children the exact same experience in River Kids and The Bridge.

Through our dream team's gifts, talents, and faithfulness, we get to partner together to make a real change in this world by empowering the youngest generation to impact the Kingdom of God now (not just when they are older!). Your investment of time and energy is valuable and we are thankful for your interest!
