RVCFriends is our special needs ministry within RVCKids, designed to support children with unique sensory, developmental, medical, or behavioural needs so they can safely participate and learn about God’s love. We provide individualized support and work alongside families to help every child feel welcomed, valued, and included. For more information, email Ally Sanchez at: asanchez@rivervalleycc.org
From their earliest days, our goal is for children to see the Bible as one incredible story—God’s unfolding mission to rescue and redeem the world through Jesus. From His life, death, and resurrection, we want kids to understand that they’re not just observers, but active participants in that story—discovering their unique place in God’s mission and joining Him in sharing His love, hope, and eternal life with others.
In RVCKids every child feels known, cared for, safe, and deeply loved by our Children’s Staff—reflecting God’s loving-kindness in every interaction.
Through patience, gentle presence, and intentional care, we model Ephesians 4:32: ”Be kind and compassionate to one another…” - so the kids see God’s heart in us and learn to live it out.
We’re passionate about partnering with parents—equipping and encouraging them with resources, support, and guidance as they raise their children to know and follow the Lord.
We’re committed to creating a high-energy, joy-filled environment—where kids connect with Jesus, make friends and build lasting memories.
The gospel message never changes and we’re passionate about sharing it in fresh, engaging, and age-appropriate ways that speak directly to kids’ hearts and experiences.
During our weekend services at our campuses, you will see RVC kids praying, learning about Jesus, building friendships, and having fun. Our mission is to partner with the Holy Spirit and families to help children discover, experience, and follow Jesus.
