Kinetic (AKA Student Ministries)

Welcome to Kinetic at River of Life. These pages are designed to provide youth of River of Life, Elk River, MN and surrounding communities with information about our student ministries. The students range from 7th to 12th grade and meet at various times throughout the week.

Kinetic Groups

• Force (7th & 8th grade)
• Rush (9th - 12th grade)
• Velocity (8th - 12th grade)

Kinetic at River of Life is a thriving community of 150+ junior and senior high students from Elk River and surrounding communities. There are many ministries geared towards the students, with the ultimate goal of bringing students closer to God.

The key components of Kinetic at River of Life are to:

• reach out to students in the greater Elk River area with the life-changing power of the gospel.
• provide students with the opportunity to become mature Christ followers.
• prepare students to meet the world's challenges in a Christ-centered manner.
• empower students to discover and utilize their spiritual gifts.
• equip parents to fulfill their God-given role as spiritual leaders.

We seek to accomplish the objectives above by guiding students through four levels of involvement and spiritual growth. This is done by offering events and activities that meet students where they are and direct them to a deeper relationship and commitment to God and his work.

Missions - Outreach

Kinetic will be doing monthly outreach events this year in our community and surrounding cities, and one of the networks we’ve decided to work with is Rivercenter.  Every third Thursday of the month, from 3:30 – 6:00 pm, we will be meeting at the Cornerstone Car Wash in Elk River, working with their Harvest Outreach program, handing out food to the needy in our community. Cornerstone is located at the corner of Hwy 10 & 17rst Ave. Please give us a call at 763-441-7527 ext. 20, to join us!

January 29 we will be taking a team of 9^th – 12^th grade students and some parents to Hope Ave. downtown Minneapolis to feed the homeless. We will be meeting at River of Life and leaving at 7:00 am Sunday morning to arrive at 8:00 am.  There will be help needed serving breakfast, handing out used clothing (please donate used winter clothes to bring with us) and attending service with the homeless. After service we will help pack and hand out bagged lunches. Any senior high students or adults wishing to join us should call Deb at the church office at 763-441-7527 ext. 20.  

Special Events

Our overnight impact event this year, ANUE,  will be held at River of Life Church on Feb. 24^th, from 9:00 pm – 6:00 am.  This All Night Ultimate Experience is for all 7^th – 12^th grade students in the surrounding area. So invite your friends for a night of competitive games of volleyball, scooter races, boot hockey, and dodge ball, and/or individual games of jousting, bungee run, and dance 2, scooter race on ice, speed basketball, and carpet ball. For those students that don’t have a competitive bone in their body, they may choose the movie room, poker room, game room, spa room, or just plain have fun on the ice or in the gym! Signed parental release forms must be turned in upon registration. Cost is only $5.00!
