Students at River West Church

Our desire is to disciple students to be a community of Christ impacting the world. We connect junior high, high school, and college students with Jesus Christ, the church, and Christ's mission. This happens as students worship, learn, serve, and engage in community with each other.

Junior High Camp

JH Summer Camp
July 15, 2024. All day

Monday - Friday, July 15-19 | Cascades Camp, Yelm, WA

JH Summer Camp is an epic week filled with blob competitions, lakeside hangs, recreation challenges, and conversations about faith, the character of God, and the wonder of the Gospel. This is a week we all look forward to in JH and would love for you to join!

Our theme for this camp is is Jonah: The Rebellious + Redeemed. We'll be taking a look at the story of Jonah. There is so much in Jonah's story for us to wrestle with! We see the invitation to go into hard spaces and what it means to be obedient and trusting that God's plan is good. We also see the wonder and truth of God's gracious and merciful heart towards his people. Our hope is for students to lean into the story of Jonah, going deeper and seeing the invitation He has for us to turn from rebellious to redeemed.

Junior High

Students in 6th-8th grades.

The middle school years can be a significant time of learning how to make friends, engage in community, and all the while still wanting to be a kid. In our Junior High Ministry, we hope to create a space for students to come, play, and engage in a space where they feel seen, known, and loved. And in that space, they would find themselves encountering our God who sees, knows, and loves them.

High School

Students in 9th-12th grades.

Community is a necessity. We desire our High School Ministry to be a place that reflects the larger church body. What you can expect is a group of students and leaders who love the Lord and are seeking Him together. This group reflects the hospitable nature of Jesus by how they welcome others in. We hope to grow in our worship and affection for Christ and His Word, and in turn deepen our relationships with each other.
