Join us for VBS July 28th-31st from 6:00-8:15PM for the best week of the summer! We are going to learn to Live it Out for Jesus! If you are a kid between the age of 4 years old through just finished 5th grade, we want you to join us as we have a blast learning Bible stories, playing games, doing crafts, having snacks, and worshipping together! This is a FREE event! Registration closes on July 24!

There are lots of volunteers and supplies needed to make VBS possible. If you are able, please consider volunteering and checking out our Amazon wishlist! All products are sent directly to River of Life.

We need your help! River of Life is hosting a Bike-A-Thon fundraiser July 27-Aug 3 with a goal of raising $200K for the “Expand the House” project. We have a big Cycle Celebration happening on August 3 where we will be welcoming back the 500-mile riders. This will be an afternoon filled with food, games, live music and so much more! If you are interested in volunteering at this event, follow the link to fill a need!

You're invited to the NextGen Cycle Celebration! Join us on Saturday, August 3rd from 12:15–2:15PM as we welcome back the incredible NextGen500 riders! This event is more than just a celebration—it’s a fundraiser in support of Expand the House, and you’re not going to want to miss it. Bring your friends and family for an afternoon full of food, live music, local vendors, and exciting activities for all ages. A highlight of the day is the NextGen5, a fun 5-lap bike ride just for kids, raising funds for River of Life’s Kids Expansion. It’s a great way for young riders to get involved and make a difference! Spread the word, bring your crew, and let’s ride for a cause!

Kiddos! We would love for you to ride in the NextGen5! This will be a bike ride that kids get sponsored to ride in, just like the 500-mile riders. Pledge to ride the full 5 laps and find your sponsors to support you (think grandparents/aunts/uncles). The ride will take place on August 3 at the Cycle Celebration. We will also have a bike wash station, bike decoration station, games, food and more! If your child wishes to participate in the NextGen5, register below by July 27!

Calling all Young Adults ages 18-29! Join us for our first YA Connect BBQ!! This is an event to get to know other young adults who attend River of Life and determine if you would like to be a part of a Young Adult Connect Group! If you are looking for a place to explore more of God and enjoy some good eats, then join us on Saturday, August 9 at 6:30pm! Sign up by July 31!

Calling all kids and youth volunteers! Please join us for one of the two training options on either August 17 at 12:00pm or August 20 at 6:15pm, so you are equipped to serve this fall! We have made some adjustments to our training requirements, and it is very important you attend one of the training events! If you are unable to attend, you will be required to watch a video and take a quiz independently that will take at least one hour of your time...we promise the live training will be more enjoyable! Please come for food, fellowship, and equipping! Must register by August 15!

MEN! Join us on Saturday, August 23 from 8:00AM-1:00PM for Ment for More, a powerful half-day Men’s Conference designed to equip you with practical tools to lead in your family, workplace, and community. These tools will help strengthen your relationships, deepen your faith, and empower you to live with greater boldness. Through engaging teaching, meaningful conversations, and Christ-centered encouragement, you’ll gain wisdom to navigate your role as a husband, father, friend, and follower of Jesus. We will end our day with the Annual John Barth Memorial Fish Fry—a time for great food, meaningful fellowship, and building lasting connections with other men. Come ready to be sharpened, stretched, and sent out stronger—equipped to lead well. Cost is $40. Sign up by August 16!
