River Kids

River Kids Zone is a fun, safe, and Christ-centered environment for children ages 4 months through 4th grade. With engaging Bible lessons, worship, crafts, skits, and games, our goal is for every child to know Jesus personally and apply God’s Word to their daily lives. We believe kids can serve, lead, and make an impact—right now, right where they are.

Led by Pastor Jackie Hornage, River Kids also hosts exciting events like VBS, Camp Dixie, and the Back to School Bash. All volunteers are thoroughly trained and background-checked to ensure your child’s safety. We’re honored to partner with parents in raising the next generation to know and love Jesus.

R Youth

R Youth is our ministry for students in 8th–12th grade. Every Wednesday night at 7 PM, students gather in the Youth Auditorium for powerful worship, Bible teaching, and small groups. Our mission is to raise up an army of Jesus-followers who are bold, grounded in truth, and ready to lead their generation.

Led by Maurice and Erianna Scott, R Youth is also student-led, empowering teens to step into leadership and use their gifts in real ways. From summer camp and mission trips to outreach and fun events, there’s always something happening to help students grow in faith and community.

ROLYA is our ministry for young adults ages 18 to 35. Whether you’re fresh out of school, building a career, or raising young kids, this is a space to grow spiritually and connect with others navigating similar seasons. Each month features gatherings that are casual, fun, and rooted in faith.

Led by Maurice and Erianna Scott, ROLYA exists to help young adults build authentic friendships, discover purpose, and walk confidently with God. You’ll find encouragement, community, and opportunities to serve and lead, no matter where you are in your journey.

River Men

River Men is for every guy, in every season of life. Our weekly Thursday Bible studies and regular events are focused on strengthening men in their walk with God and calling them to be spiritual leaders in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

We recognize the unique challenges faced in a military town—frequent moves, deployments, and separation from family. River Men exists to provide support, brotherhood, and purpose, helping men stay grounded and grow no matter the circumstances.

Radiant Women

Radiant Women is a powerful community of women who are passionate about hearing God's voice and living with purpose. Led by Pastor Miriam Phillips, this ministry is built around Bible studies, small groups, conferences, and local/global outreach opportunities.

From young adults to grandmothers, Radiant Women offers connection and growth for every age and stage. Whether you’re looking to deepen your faith, form friendships, or discover your calling, you’ll find a place to shine here.

Military Connection

Our team is united in connecting our Military service members and their families here at ROL. Through the sharing of care packages for the deployed family member and phone calls, texts and quarterly meetings with spouses. 

The ministry is geared to serve our service members, attendees, and their families by keeping them connected to God and the church body at ROL while they are serving our country during deployment.

Marriage Ministry

Marriage is a gift, and it takes intentional investment to grow and thrive. At River of Life, our Marriage Ministry offers mentorship, events, and small group opportunities designed to help couples build stronger, healthier relationships rooted in God’s Word.

Led by Keith and Linda Jones and a dedicated team of mentors, we walk alongside married and engaged couples through every season. Whether you’re newlywed or decades in, our heart is to see your marriage flourish spiritually, emotionally, and practically.

River Groups

River Groups are where a big church becomes small. These groups meet in homes, coffee shops, and around town to build authentic relationships, study God’s Word, and walk through life together. We believe that growth happens best in community.

With groups for women, men, couples, and multigenerational home groups, there’s a place for everyone. No matter your age or stage, you’ll find friendship, support, and a space to grow deeper in your faith.

River Wise

River Wise is our ministry for adults 60 and over, built on the truth that God's not done with you yet! We believe this season of life is rich with purpose, connection, and opportunity. Through regular gatherings, we focus on building relationships, enjoying life together, and sharing the wisdom God has given.

Whether it’s learning about health, finding new ways to serve, or simply laughing together, River Wise is a space to stay spiritually vibrant and connected. Come grow, give, and thrive alongside others who are embracing this chapter with faith and joy.

Some classes require sign-up, while others are open to all. Whether you’re looking to grow in prayer, understand your faith on a deeper level, or strengthen your walk, Grow Time is a powerful opportunity to invest in your spiritual growth.
