What is a Sunday morning like at River Oak?

 

It's friendly and it's casual. Our greeters are ready to make sure you find your way - whether it's to find childcare or a place for your teens.

You don't need to worry about what to wear. We are more concerned with meeting you and making you feel at home than with what you're wearing. So dress casual and enjoy our contemporary praise band and practical messages from God's Word that help you deal with life issues facing you and your family today.

 

Caraway Street - A FUN place for kids!

Children in K5 - grade 3 are invited to attend Caraway Street for an adventure-filled, Bible-centered time of learning and fun during our worship celebration. It’s like a Christian “Sesame Street” that grabs their attention and teaches each child with creativity and excitement. The message of every activity is tied to Biblical truths. Its purpose is to lead children into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ on their level. Every Sunday morning real ministry happens; its more than mere entertainment.

 

High Tide - Active Learning for Older Children!

HighTide All 4th, 5th & 6th graders will meet in the Cafeteria Atrium from 9:00am to 10:30am during the morning Worship. HighTide offers a high energy hands on approach to experiencing God’s Word by using the "Hands ON Bible Curriculum" by Group Publishing. At River Oak it's exciting and challenging to have the opportunity to meet the spiritual needs of older children. Our goal is to provide powerful tools, positive experiences and a safe environment so children are able to develop a real friendship with Jesus.

Youth Ministry - A cool place for youth!

Our youth ministry exists to reach non-believing students, to connect them with other Christians, to help them grow in their faith, and to challenge the growing to discover their ministry and honor God with their lives. We accomplish this through Bible Encounter groups, fun events (paintball, pizza bashes, bowling, etc.), outreach activities, camps and retreats, mission projects and trips, relationships with caring youth workers, and through Youth LIFE Groups (Inside Out for gr. 7-8 and The Bash for gr. 9-12).

 

Bible Encounter - Close encounters of a Spiritual kind!

Each Sunday at 10:30, we offer Bible discovery groups for all ages, preschool through adult. The children and youth classes are divided into ages and grades while the adults are given different classes from which to pick and choose.

 

Solid Grounds - A time to meet and greet!

We have a cup of freshly brewed coffee for everyone after the 9:00 AM worship celebration before Bible Encounter begins. It’s a great time to meet new folks and deepen friendships.

 

Life Groups - The fabric of fellowship!

These home-based Bible study groups meet throughout the week and are the best way to connect with others outside of Sunday services. We offer different groups for children, youth and adults. There’s one that meets in a neighborhood near you.
