What to wear?

If casual clothes helps you feel less self-conscious, go for it! If a suit and tie feels respectful to you, come dressed to the nines. As long as we maintain that we are dressing to meet with Jesus we can’t go wrong.

What is the worship music like?

We have live worship every Sunday. Our musicians play Contemporary Christian music. The band is made up of people who are passionate for Christ and sharing the gifts that God has given them with Him and those around them.

What age can I put my child into Sunday School?

We are offering Sunday School classes to children from age 4 all the way through 5th grade. The classes are structured in a fun and engaging way for the children in this age group to remember the lessons well and participate with their peers in class.

What are the kids doing in Sunday School?

We’re kicking off a new series called “Jesus Loves Me”. and kids will learn that Jesus loves all of us. River Community Church uses the KidCheck electronic check-in system to help ensure the safety of your children;  please check-in your kids at the Education Wing lobby kiosk before Sunday school begins.

Are the projects worked on in class messy?

No more messy than any elementary schoolroom. We use markers, crayons, glue sticks, and scissors for some of our projects. The children are then able to take the projects home for a great reminder of the lesson throughout the week!
