Epic Chapters And Life Groups

Chapters are the heart and soul of the Epic community. These mid-sized groups meet weekly to promote friendships, spiritual growth, and encouragement among their members. They include a time for our Life Groups (Riverview's version of small groups) to study the Bible together and share what's going on in our lives. Check out a Chapter at any time, and feel free to invite anyone else who may be interested.

Catalyst is Epic's leadership inner circle. If you're interested in growing in your leadership abilities, character, understanding of the Bible, and being a part of Epic's leadership community, Catalyst is for you.

Not leading anything? Awesome, come check it out anyway.

Catalyst happens every Sunday!

Soul Food

Posted on Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010

Do you have questions about Christianity? Ever wondered...

Who made God?

How can God make something out of nothing?

How can a good God send people to Hell?

How can God be both loving and just?

This Thursday in the Union Basement (study type room) we'll be discussing questions like these. If you, or someone you know, has questions about God, Christianity, and life - come to the Union. Meet in the Union eatery at 5pm, bring you own food or grab something there, and we'll head to Basement study lounge.

 We'll talk about spiritual questions (soul) and eat (food). Soul Food - see you at the Union tomorrow.

 Want more info? Email or call Matt (matt.moore@rivchurch.com 734.709.2310) or Free (john.freeman@rivchurch.com).

Colorado LT (Leadership Training) - Summer 2010

Posted on Friday, Dec 4, 2009

Colorado LT is a summer leadership program that combines a overseas missions opportunity with a discipleship training program in one of the most beautiful locations in the United States, Estes Park, Colorado.  

Details of the Program:

You're guranteed a 40 hr. week job at this beautiful resort that serves up to 4000 guests in the summer.  You'll roughly make $1800 for the summer.

Your food and housing are provided as part of your compensation.

You'll learn a lot about God's word, developing a heart for the world, and tons of opportunities to build relationships with people who are far from God.

Each summer the Y employs roughly 100 international students - so our program is like an international mission opportunity right here in the US.

Cost of the program is $695.

Email Matt Moore (Matt.Moore@RivChurch.com) or Joe Testa (Joe.Testa@RivChurch.com) for more information!
