School has officially started ... and you know what that means, right? Well, yes ... it does mean your favorite TV shows are beginning a brand-new season. But, even more exciting -- come on, admit it -- is the fact that our YF has also begun a brand-new season!

Meeting on Thursday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, Riverside Youth Fellowship is geared so that students can grow in their understanding of the Bible and develop quality relationships with Christian adults and students. We've designed YF specifically for the youth -- high intensity games, awesome praise music, and a message from the Bible.

Each teen will have the chance to join one of several ministry teams -- drama, music, greeters, newsletter, photography, etc.. Whether outgoing, shy, or somewhere-in-between, our goal is to make sure there's a ministry opportunity for everyone.

This year, we will also be supplementing our regular mid-week meetings with monthly outreach nights. Students will be encouraged to bring their unchurched friends to hear the Gospel and have a whole lot of fun.

The Junior and Senior High School years are definitely exciting times, and we are committed to helping our youth make their spiritual growth a top priority.
