The River's Edge is the Youth Ministry of the River Bible Church. We share the mission vision of the church, which is Exalt God- Equip the Saints- Express the Love of Christ. To Grow in Christ and Further the Kingdom of God. We do this through gospel-centered teaching and group discussion, followed by community and global mission.
RE-BORN The most important decision a student will make is their decision to follow Christ. Our goal is to present the message of the gospel to our students, that they will be RE-BORN of the Spirit of God and will have an intimate relationship with Christ.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
Living life together we EXALT Christ when we are RE-BORN of His Holy Spirit.
Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. 1 Thessalonians 2:8
EXALT
RE-FOCUS
There are so many distractions of the world; our goal is to help students RE-FOCUS their lives, to dig into God's Word and to die to themselves and live for Christ. _
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who live_s in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
Life in the Spirit can only be attained by seeking a personal relationship with Christ. This can be done through prayer and studying God’s Word. We are fully EQUIPPED when we RE-FOCUS our thoughts on Christ alone.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2
EQUIP
RE-LEASED We believe as chosen children of God we are called to be his disciples and to make disciples. Our goal is for our students be RE-LEASED to do just that.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
We are RE-LEASED to EXPRESS the love of Christ to our community and to the world. So that others may be RE-Born, RE-FOCUSED and RE-LEASED!
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8
