Our young people are not the church of tomorrow but the church of today. We include young people in all ministries so that they learn to carry spiritual responsibility from a young age. We are raising and developing their gifts and abilities so as to have godly young people and a steady flow of emerging leaders. Our Rivers Youth programme at Rivers is geared at developing young people and releasing their potential through fun, friendship and ministry. Rivers Youth is a page out of main church, so that young people are fully integrated into the vision, values and life of the church.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/24111824\/Youth-5-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/24111644\/Youth-4-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/24111231\/Youth-1-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/24111510\/Youth-3-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.rivers.church\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/24111349\/Youth-2-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Hey YOU[TH] Youth is held every Friday night on our Ballito Campus.
