A fun, safe place for students to make lifelong friends, learn about the love of God, and grow in their faith.

River Rock Student Ministries is for all students, grades 6-12. Our mission is to create a passionate, authentic, and welcoming community where students can seek, learn, and grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus. It is also a place where students can develop genuine friendships with one another. As a ministry we are passionate about encountering the power and presence of Jesus Christ. We strive to demonstrate and lead students to view their relationship with Jesus not just as an emotional experience, but as a personal encounter. We also work to create a community of connection, where students are connected to other students, leaders, and the greater church.

  • This summer's Fuge camp will be to North Greenville University in South Carolina. Summer camp is an amazing week filled with fun, worship, Bible studies, and (this year) the beach. This is a great trip to invite a friend and have fun together growing closer to Christ. The cost for camp is $475 (for a limited time) but we do have several fundraisers available as well as scholarships. The registration fees cover: lodging, all meals, amazing worship band and speaker, travel to and from camp, and a couple of T-shirts.

  • Our summer mission trip will be to Knoxville, TN on July 14-20. The cost for this years mission trip is $350 and is primarily for students 6-12 grade but we encourage college students, parents, or other adults to join us. Every mission trip is different, but typically we do construction projects for people in need. These projects include: roofing, drywall repair or installation, painting, yard work, and other home improvement projects. If you are interested in joining us on this years mission trip one of the requirements is to type out your personal testimony of how you came to know Jesus and how you are striving to live for Him now. This is just so we know where you are in your walk with Christ and also allows us to pray with and for you as you go on this trip.

  • Most Wednesday nights during the school year our student’s gather at the Gillespie’s house for dinner, games, and a Bible lesson. They meet from 6-8 PM each week, and friends are always welcome!
