At River West Church, our goal is to understand who Jesus is, and what He has done for us, in the fullest sense. This means growing in faith and learning how to apply it to everyday life. Classes are a great way to do just that. We offer a variety of classes throughout the year. To find out when classes are offered, click on Events at the top right of this page.
These classes provide a foundation for who we are as a church, and our role as members of the church body. It is our hope that all River Westers will attend Core Classes.
Get acquainted with the story, values, and vision of River West Church! IRW is a great opportunity for new-comers to have lunch with church leaders and members of the community.

Parenting is the most difficult, yet most rewarding job you will ever have! As parents, we need vision and direction in order to parent well.
Pastors Mike and Kathleen have created a parenting curriculum called “Shepherding Your Family” based on 1 Peter 5:1-4. This passage gives an excellent framework for understanding our parenting role so that we make the most of the time we have with our kids and prepare them for a life of impact in this world for Christ.
For more information, please contact Pastor Mike Self at mike@riverwest.org.
