Youth (6th-12th Grade)

River Youth, students grades 6-12,  meet Wednesday nights during the school year from 6:30-8:00 pm at River of Life in the Youth Room (near Relatte). Our student ministry focuses around “proclaiming the Gospel boldly amongst our peers” (Jeremiah 1:6-8). Contact the church office for more info at info@riveroflife.org or (319) 393-3709.

We are in our final teaching series of the schoolyear, looking at the Letter of 1 John, and how Christ-followers are to be obedient to God.

As part of our “Prayer, Care, Share” Campaign, on Wednesday, May 15th we will practice caring for others by cleaning up trash around the church building and doing some landscaping. Students need to wear tennis shoes and bring gloves. Burgers and Hot Dogs will be provided for dinner.

On May 22nd we will join other youthgroups from around Cedar Rapids for our annual Worship & Prayer Night, this year hosted at Stonebridge Church at 6:30pm. Students will need to arrive at and leave directly from Stonebridge, we will not meet at River of Life during our normal meeting time that evening.

Our final River Youth of the schoolyear will be on Wednesday, May 29th. We will recap everything we learned this schoolyear, play games, and celebrate what God has done this schoolyear. Students that will be moving into 6th grade and joining us in the fall are invited.

Students who wish to go to summer camp have the option to attend as part of our group through the Iowa Ministry Network at Sunstream Retreat Center. Cost and camp dates can be found by visiting the link below. Scholarships are available for students wanting to attend that need assistance with the cost. Further questions can be directed to Youth Ministry Director Keaton.
