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.

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.

Campus Work Day
2023-11-11 08:00 - 12:00
Mark your calendars NOW!
All hands on deck! We’re sprucin’ things up with a Campus Work Day and we want you to be there.

Let’s come and serve the Lord together as one in a body-wide expression of gratitude for these grounds and this facility that He has given to us. We want to be good stewards of His property by keeping things clean, organized, weeded, pruned, painted, repaired, etc. There will be ways of serving that are appropriate for every age (for their safety, children must remain with parents). Bring the whole family and let’s join together for a time of work and fellowship.

For more information, please contact Gary Weiss, Facilities Manager at gweiss@riverbluff.org or 843.266.6328.

Have you been hanging around Riverbluff for a while? What are your next steps?
We’ve found our Exploring Church Membership (ECM) seminar to be the best plan for stepping into membership at Riverbluff. ECM gives you an overview of our strategy, goals, values and vision. During our time together, we will share what we’re trying to be and do as a church. You’ll get to personally meet our Pastors and ask them any questions that might be on your heart. At the end of our time together, we will offer you the opportunity to commit to membership, but there will be no pressure! We promise!
Childcare will be available with sign-up.

The Next ECM Seminar Will Be Held On:
Sunday, November 12, 2023 | 4:00 pm
