COMING FALL 2025
SCHOOL OF MISSIONS
We believe in the next generation and that this generation is ready to go to the ends of the Earth. We want to propel future missions engagement in the local church and prepare those considering to be part of the 500.
Goal: Provide an experiential, educational, and affordable program to many students looking to engage further in missions. The end result is being prepared for the field or being a sender in the local church.
Experience: Three short-term, on-the-field internships with trusted missionary partners amongst Muslim peoples, secular peoples and Buddhist or Hindu peoples. Interspersed with educational and ministry experiences at River Valley.
Education: Partnering with an accredited, affordable and customizable program that can be completed on the field. Earn credit toward a future degree while gaining on the ground experience.
SCHOOL OF WORSHIP
In the School of Worship, students will experience what it looks like to serve through the area of music and production in the context of a thriving local church. Students will learn the biblical knowledge, heart posture and skills necessary to come alongside other ministries and their campus to create meaningful worship experiences. In addition, students will have access to songwriting and music production opportunities that will help shape future songs with River Valley AGES and River Valley Worship.
The Pastoral Leadership track is uniquely crafted to accelerate growth in a student’s spiritual journey, their personal development and in church leadership. Through a combination of academic study and hands-on ministry within a thriving local church setting, students will engage in a wide array of experiences and be equipped to pursue vocational ministry with confidence.

OUR LEAD PASTORS
At River Valley, the next generation isn’t just tolerated; it is embraced, championed and loved. Our heart has become “what can we do for you?” rather than, “what can you do for us?” We want you to do more than we ever could. You are right behind us, pushing us forward. Through the Schools of Ministry, we strive to help each student grow through a balance of encouragement, discipleship and development. Our goal is to give you the competency to advance the Kingdom of God and change the world. The best is yet to come!
