River Youth

To equip the next generation with the boldness, faith and character to face and live life with Him.

We equip the next generation to be bold and strong in faith, and to live in a close relationship with Jesus. Our youth work is aimed at youth and young adults aged 13-23 years. We want to teach young people how to know God personally, to hear His voice and to walk under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Life with God is the best adventure!
Join us for youth activities that are exciting and full of life! We organize activities for different age groups, from early childhood up to the end of adolescence. Our youth work is dynamic and inspiring, and filled with the Holy Spirit!

Friday’s youth night is a meeting specially designed for young people, which includes e.g. playing board games, ping-pong, worship, Bible-teaching, prayer and fellowship with friends. There is also food and drink available.

In the youth work, we want to support youth and young adults in their daily growth and walk with God.

We want to give young people the keys through which they become stronger in knowing God, and progress towards the heavenly purpose God intended for them.

We want every young person to receive a revelation about how God wants to use them at a young age to advance His Kingdom.
