Driven Student Ministry exists to help 6th-12th grade students live a 3-Dimensional Life.
UP: Relationship with God
IN: Relationship with other Christ-followers
OUT: Relationship with people who are close to them but far from Christ

We do this through a variety of groups, gatherings, and programs designed to introduce students to Christ and help them grow in relationship with Him, and to connect them to opportunities to serve inside and outside the four walls of Riverbluff Church.

Wednesday Nights at 6:30 PM

Bless OES Reading Buddies Information Meeting
2023-09-10 15:00 - 16:00
ALL are invited to attend a brief meeting about Reading Buddies for OES
SUNDAY, 9/10, at 3:00, in room 102/105.
Please come hear from Shauntae Gilliard, the new Title I Facilitator at OES, about how Reading Buddies works. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions and complete Dorchester District 2 volunteer paperwork. You will be able to choose a day of the week and a time that works for you, as well as note which grade you would prefer to work with.
The meeting will last less than one hour and attending does not commit you to serving.
Please pray about serving as a Reading Buddy for a child who needs a little extra help.
1 HOUR PER WEEK is all we ask.
The only experience you need is the ability to read. The teacher provides the books and any materials.
For more information, please contact Michell Witman mwitman@riverbluff.org or 843-266-6328

First Study: “Chase Study. Chasing After the Heart of God” by Jennie Allen
God is invisible. Yet He is the only thing we can chase that won’t leave us feeling empty. God has carved out a space in each of us that only He can fill. So whether you are running from God or working your tail off to please Him, David’s journey will challenge your view of God. Chase explores the events that defined David’s life and the Psalms that flowed out of those experiences. Through David’s example we’ll discover what God really wants from us. The lessons in this study are simple yet deep and very interactive, offering Bible study, stories, and projects to dig into Scripture and deeply engage the minds and hearts or participants.
