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!

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.
