RIVERVIEW KIDS
The “Everyone” vision of
Riverview absolutely includes
children! Children absolutely
matter to Jesus. This is why
the goal of Riverview Kids is
to help children know Jesus
as their Friend and Saviour.
We want to support parents in
their responsibility to help their
children connect their hearts and
minds with Jesus.
We also know that creating fun
and engaging environments is
important for children so they feel
safe and secure, and are able to
explore and develop friendships
with other children and adults
who serve on our teams.
Riverview Kids offers four agedbased ministry rooms:
Wonder (2 months – 3 years).
The Wonder Team offer a
warm, safe, nurturing, clean
and interactive environment for
babies and toddlers to experience
God’s love through play. A key
goal for this room is that every
child is known by their own name.
Rumble (3 years to Pre-Primary).
The Rumble Room ministry
engages the kids through a
variety of activities including
worship, story, craft, prayer and
play. The ministry programme
is designed to build an early
foundation of faith as they begin
to understand that Jesus is real
and present and active in their
little lives. The Rumble Team aim
to help children connect and
make friends and to ensure that
every child is known by name.
having opportunities to know
Jesus as their friend. Launch
is an empowering ministry
environment where children are
encouraged to ask questions and
offer themselves and their unique
gifts and personalities to the
community of their friends.
In 2023 we added a Star Ministry
Team. This wonderful team offers
children and families (ages 3-12)
who have additional needs to be
supported through friendship.
This ministry operates alongside
the Launch and Rumble Rooms
so that every child is not limited
with opportunities to be known in
community and to know Jesus as
their friend.
Launch (Years 1-6). Launch is all
about fun, faith and friends. In

activities and storytelling to

to life for the children with a
strong emphasis on each child
