sometimes impossible to escape the difficulties of life, but we can equip
ourselves with the truth in God’s word in order to meet these challenges.

do I get to River Valley?
We are located at 12459 St. Rt. 104, Waverly, OH...conveniently behind
the Dairy Queen!

should I wear?
Whatever
you feel comfortable wearing around a group of people. You’ll see
folks in jeans and other casual clothes, and you’ll see other people
in suits and dresses. You’re welcome to come as you are!
Will I be recognized as a visitor?
No. River Valley respects the desires of the many who choose to investigate
Christianity anonymously.
What does River Valley believe?
River Valley Community Church is a nondenominational Christian church
that looks to the Bible as its source for truth and belief. To learn more

Where should I park?
We do have upper and lower level parking. Continue up the easement for
upper level parking, which includes our handicap accessible entrance.
Visitors with children find it helpful to park in the lower level, as
the children's ministry area is on our lower floor.

to lead the people in the singing of contemporary worship songs.

It is our children’s ministry program that often attracts first-time
visitors to River Valley. For more information on our programs for kids,

Are there classes for adults?
River Valley provides small groups during the week. You may be wondering,
"What are small groups?" Simply put, they are topic or interest-centered
ways to jump-start spiritual conversations and connect with other people.
At River Valley, we believe life-change happens best in small groups.

What do I have to do to become a member?
We do not have members in the traditional sense. We believe if, after
attending River Valley, you 'find God' - experience him through corporate
worship, 'find a friend' - connect with others in small groups, classes,
or other ministries, and 'find a job' - get involved, volunteer, follow
your heart's passion in service...then you may consider yourself a member
of River Valley!
Does River Valley believe in prayer?
Yes. We believe that God hears and answers prayer. River Valley has an
email prayer team, a telephone prayer team, and an active prayer team
behind the scenes before, during, and after each service.
Do you believe in baptism?
Yes. We believe that a public confession of your faith
is part of the journey walk with Christ. You may find
out more about our beliefs on baptism on our
'baptism' page. |
