RivKids
RivKids is our ministry for children from infancy to sixth grade. We currently offer kids' church during all services at the Holt Venue. Service times are 7:00ish pm on Saturday nights, and 9:30ish am and 11:30ish am on Sunday mornings.
During this weekly event we socialize and worship through music and teaching that is relevant to kids' lives. We run a program for three-year-olds through sixth graders. We sing, dance, play, have dramas, show videos . . . anything we can do to help kids grow closer to Christ.
For more info about RivKids, email Jen.Anibal@RivChurch.com.
We also offer a group called Refresh for mothers of young children (newborn through Kindergarten-age). Refresh seeks to encourage moms of young children that what they do matters and is important.
