Family Corner

Welcome to the Family

Here at River Church we value families. Our desire is to see parents “win” at home at every phase of their child’s spiritual development. Our goal is to come along side and partner with you to train, equip, and support your role as the primary spiritual leader at home. Whether it’s during bed time, dinner time, or play time, we want to leverage the time and resource we have with our children to point them to Christ.

Family Practice of the Month

Each month we share one simple practice that help families encounter God together.

Special God Time

This month’s practice we interact with God tailored to our unique personalities.

Here are the basic steps to spending special God Time:

  • Choose the calmest time in your daily routine.

  • Decide on a timeframe ahead of time. Consider starting with just 5 minutes, especially with little ones.

  • Open the time in prayer. Explain that we are going to take some time to spend with with God. It can be whatever shape or form aside from anything disruptive.

  • The goal is simply for each person to enjoy time with God.

  • Set the timer for the decided timeframe, put on some worship music, and attempt to have everyone spend time independently.

  • When time is up, invite everyone to share what they chose to do, and, for older kids, anything they learned about God.

You will show me the way of life,
    granting me the joy of your presence
    and the pleasures of living with you forever.

-Psalm 16:11
