In his epistles, the apostle John gives a clear picture of living a lifestyle that is consistent with genuine Christian faith; of living in Truth and Love.  John wanted to clear up some misconceptions about church doctrine and fellowship that were arising up in churches.  As we study how John reassured those who remained faithful to the true character of Christianity, we will see some very basic, but vital principles of faith that will enable us to know more of God’s character and what love is so that we can be joyful in the certainty of our faith.  Join us as we seek to grow in Christlikeness through studying 1, 2, and 3 John. Ladies Bible Study Group --Thursdays 2 -3:35 pm in person at RiverCross starting January 19, 2023.. No registration required.

Pastor Rob will be facilitating an online study of the book of Galatians, as taught by Kyle Idleman.  In this video series, Kyle Idleman dives into the book of Galatians, one that contains some of the clearest explanations of the gospel in the New Testament. Through biblical study and engaging lessons, Kyle shows that true freedom is found in surrender, not self-dependence. Because our gospel is not one based on our works, but faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.  This online study will be held over 6 weeks, Tuesday nights, at 7:30 starting January 17th.  We will watch the short video together and then enjoy a discussion on the material and its application to our own lives. 

RiverCross Church is sending a short term mission team to El Salvador in 2023. The trip will be two-weeks long, from Friday, October 23rd to Friday, November 3rd. There will be an information session on Wednesday, January 18th, at 7 PM, to provide more details about the trip, explain the process of team selection, and clearly lay out the financial and time commitments involved in team preparation over the next several months. It is very important that you attend this information session, if you are an older teen, a young adult, or older adult who is interested in exploring the possibility of serving on this mission team. Hope to see you there!  

As we enter into the new year, Amy will continue to provide an opportunity for anyone interested in art. Once a month you can come and spend an evening exploring fun painting techniques and learning to use that creativity in worship. 

All supplies will be provided here at the church. We will meet in the RiverKids Zone.

Please register so we can prepare for you!

Hey Middle School and High School students!

We are so so excited to be able to offer Winter Retreat again this year!

We will be heading to Snider Mountain Ranch for the weekend of January 27-29th, leaving from RiverCross Church Friday evening and returning on Sunday Morning in time to attend our 11:00 service.

There will be trail rides, archery, sliding, games, and meaningful time spent praying, worshipping, and learning together. We would LOVE to have you join us.

The cost per person will be $75, which includes all your meals and snacks for the weekend. You can check out the Snider Mountain Ranch website here to learn more about where we will be staying: https://www.snidermountainranch.ca/ 

If you would like to join us, please register by January 20th at the latest. 

We want to give you the opportunity to meet your church family, and what better way, then over a meal!  As our congregation continues to change, it's important to get to know each other, so we are hosting an event called Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, where someone opens their home to host a meal, and then we fill your table with guests you may not know.  Then, on the weekend of January 28/29 you will share a meal with some people from your church family.  Our preference is that these meals take place at lunch (1pm), after the Sunday service on January 29th, but if that dates does not work, then you could meet on Saturday, January 28th for supper (5:30). You can register to Host or Participate.

If you are looking to learn a bit more about what Christianity is all about, N. T. Wright’s Simply Christian may be the book for you.  It is written in a way to be valuable both to folks who are either new to the faith or aren’t quite sure they are ready to jump in yet and to people who have been Christians for much of their lives and are ready to learn more about their faith.  Starting on January 29, 2023 at 11:00am in the Youth Room, we will have an opportunity to spend six weeks learning more about Christianity from Wright’s book and find out a bit more about growing in our faith. Registration not required.
