P828 is the River’s youth ministry for grades 7th–12th
Helping students belong, grow, and live out their purpose in Jesus.
At The River, we believe every student was created on purpose, for a purpose. That’s why P828 exists — to help young people discover who Jesus says they are, find a place where they belong, and be equipped to make a difference in their world.

What to Expect
Purpose 8:28 (P828) meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00–8:30 PM.
We’ve created a space where students can belong even before they believe, and where they’re empowered to grow in faith, community, and purpose.
Worship
Students are invited to pause in the middle of a busy week to encounter God’s presence.
Worship is about re-centering hearts on Jesus and remembering the One who is always with us.

Message
Biblical truth, taught in a way that connects to real life.
Every week, students hear from God’s Word about who He is, who they are in Christ, and how following Jesus gives their lives meaning and direction.

Small Group
Life change happens best in the context of relationships.
After worship and the message, students break into groups led by caring adult leaders. These groups provide a safe space to process life, faith, and how to practically live out God’s Word together.
There is a place for you here!
Beyond Wednesday Nights
We believe discipleship goes beyond one service. That’s why P828 offers events throughout the year—like camps, retreats, and special gatherings—that strengthen faith, build lasting friendships, and equip students to carry their faith into everyday life.
