River Kids

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."  Matt. 19:14


River Kids is our Children’s Ministry for infants - 5th grade and is designed to help kids grow in their knowledge of Jesus, through fun-filled interactive stories and age appropriate activities. 


Sundays

River Littles (infants - 3yrs) and River Kids (4yrs - 5th grade) meet in the Community Room at the Malaga Cove Library. Parents can check-in kids at the courtyard towards the back of the library off of Via Pinale or follow signage from the Gallery Room. Parking is available behind the library and on surrounding streets. We look forward to seeing you there!


River Kids Hangouts (3-5th Grade) River Kids meet every other week to hangout, play games and dive in a little deeper with Jesus. Keep an eye out for locations in our monthly River newsletter. Sign up to receive the newsletter here!

Junior HIgh

John 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. "  


Fun games and good times! We are going to learn about the character of Jesus, and what that means for us. TiDE Tuesdays will meet in the Daniel's backyard, so please enter through the gate on the right side of the house.


Address: 30 Silver Saddle, RHE

Dates: October 5, 12, 19, and 26

Time: 7:15 - 8:45 p.m.


We love Junior High students and are honored to be a part of their growth into the individuals that God has made them to be. TiDE is here to walk alongside these students as they grow into their relationships with themselves, with others, with God, and with all of creation. 


Please contact Luke Schroeder if you would like your student to be involved in TiDE or if you have any questions or comments - luke@riversouthbay.org.

High School

The River High School group, RuSH, will meet Wednesday evenings at the Ryan's Home.


Address: 25 Strawberry Lane, RHE

Dates: October 6, 13, 20, and 27

Time: 7:30 - 9:00 p.m.


RuSH - Because we are rushing towards God's grace. The "u" is lowercase because we personally (you/yourself) are incredibly small in comparison to God's love and grace.


"Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him"  Mark 9:15


The River High School Group offers what we call "Small Groups" for students who are looking to dive deeper into the dynamic life following Jesus. Small Groups are composed of 5-10 students who meet weekly with their leader to study the Bible and grow closer in their friendship with each other. During the weekly meetings, students will engage in conversations that ask the tougher questions of life and spur spiritual growth. The River High School Group is intentional about using Small Groups to develop mature disciples of Jesus.


If you would like to join RuSH, please register here.
