Our desire is to disciple students to be a community of Christ impacting the world. We connect junior high, high school, and college students with Jesus Christ, the church, and Christ's mission. This happens as students worship, learn, serve, and engage in community with each other.
THIS SUMMER, OUR STUDENTS ARE SERVING IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!
Help students raise funds so they can travel to the Dominican Republic and serve by providing jobs—anything from manual labor (cleaning, building, painting, lawn mowing) to babysitting/ housesitting to other odd-jobs you might come up with.
Saturday, June 1 | 9:30am-4:30pm | Haven Home
Graduating seniors are invited to join us for a weekend away to reflect on the past four years of high school and pray + cast a vision for what the Lord may have in the next chapter. Our desire in Student Ministry is to launch students well into the next chapter of their lives. We'll be reflecting on the formation they've witnessed in their lives in high school and discussing key theological truths to take with them into the next chapter.
We'd love for any high school senior to come and be a part of this weekend! It won't be the same without you!
For more questions, please reach out to Pastor Tiffany at tiffany@riverwest.org.

Monday - Friday, July 15h-19th | Cascades Camp, Yelm WA
JH Summer Camp is an epic week filled with blob competitions, lakeside hangs, recreation challenges, and conversations about faith, the character of God, and the wonder of the Gospel. This is a week we all look forward to in JH and would love for you to join!
Our theme for this camp is Into the Deep. We'll be taking a look at the story of Jonah. There is so much in Jonah's story for us to wrestle with! We see the invitation to go into hard spaces and what it means to be obedient and trusting that God's plan is good. We also see the wonder and truth of God's gracious and merciful heart towards his people. Our hope is for students to lean into the story of Jonah, going deeper, and seeing the invitation He has for us to be in His light and relationship as His children.
Cost is $485 per student.
Partial scholarships are available. Contact tiffany@riverwest.org for more info!

Students in 6th-8th grades.
The middle school years can be a significant time of learning how to make friends, engage in community, and all the while still wanting to be a kid. In our Junior High Ministry, we hope to create a space for students to come, play, and engage in a space where they feel seen, known, and loved. And in that space, they would find themselves encountering the one, true, living God who has and will always see, know, and love them. We gather weekly to intentionally engage in community through activities and meaningful conversations on the Bible and the Christian faith.

Students in 9th-12th grades.
Community is a necessity. We desire for our High School Ministry to continue to be a place that reflects the larger church body. What you can expect is a group of students and leaders who love the Lord and are seeking Him together. This group reflects the hospitable nature of Jesus by how they welcome others in. We hope to grow in our worship and affection for Christ and His Word, and in turn deepen our relationships with each other.
