Apex Leadership Training MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1 • 6:30pm

River of Life Church, Jacksonville Location

Apex is our new intensive leadership training for those who are already serving at River of Life Church.

Because Apex means “the highest point, such as the top of the mountain; the narrow tip, such as the tip of the spear,” our goal is to instill the theory and practice of leadership in those being equipped for the work of ministry.

Join us on Monday, February 1 at 6:30 p.m. in Jacksonville. Dinner will be provided, and the training is free and open to everyone. For more information, please contact the church office at (910) 346-1114.

Crisis 101 Men’s Bible Study THURSDAYS, FEBRUARY 4 - APRIL 21 • 7PM River of Life Church, Jacksonville Location

Calling all guys! Join us every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. starting February 4 - April 21* for a new Men's Bible Study -- Crisis 101: Back to the Basics

by Robert J. Morgan. All of us are either going into a crisis, coming out of one, or in the midst of it right now. And we know lots of other people in the same boat. So what do we do? How do we handle those "life-changing" times?

Learn how to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. He continually stepped into crisis with words of hope, peace, joy and love, and we can do the same. You definitely don't want to miss this time of growth and discovery! *Note: We will NOT have class on Thursdays, March 3, 24 & 31.
