What is RVLI?

RVLI is designed to equip students with a strong biblical foundation and cultivate intentional, practical leadership through hands-on experience. With a focus on advancing the Great Commission, students will develop as globally minded leaders who understand the power of relational influence in ministry and beyond, all while having the opportunity to earn college credit.


Our Vision

River Valley Leadership Institute exists to develop globally-minded leaders to discover and live out their God-given purpose through immersive ministry training, intentional discipleship and transformative experiences.


Our Mission

River Valley Leadership Institute exists to equip leaders to advance the Kingdom of God and make a lasting impact in the world. As you discover the call of God on your life, we commit to providing a dynamic blend of leadership development, character refinement, ministry experience and academics so that you can be fully equipped to accomplish all that God has set before you. Through our three distinct schools—leadership, creative and missions— you’ll engage in accredited education, participate in culture cohorts to learn the River Valley Way of ministry and gain real ministry experiences that create meaningful, life-changing connections with Jesus.
