River Valley Community Church Missions Page

~ From Pam Abuhl - Administrative Director

If you were to visit River Valley Community Church for the first time you would notice several things immediately: we don’t own any property (currently we meet in the gym at 801 Illinois Ave while waiting for a rental lease at a strip mall in Aurora), and we don’t have any dedicated weekly programs (all of our meetings take place in the context of our Life Groups). This does not indicate an oversight on our part; these elements are strategic to our mission’s strategy both locally and globally. As a church we desire for the bulk of our resources (personal, financial, etc.) to be allocated outside of the four walls of our church’s meeting space, and we would like for all of the members of our church to be able to find out more regarding our missions efforts here in Aurora and around the world.

Over the last few weeks we have made several changes to the RVCC website, but one of the more significant is how we have restructured our “missions” page, which now consists of three parts:

1. The Main Page: here you will find our church’s written covenantal commitment to the missions we support. At the bottom of this page is a section we will regularly update that highlights a recent or ongoing missions opportunity in which we are participating.
2. The Local Ministries Page: here you can see a break-down of all of the local ministries River Valley supports along with testimonies from church members who are specifically involved with each mission. It is our hope that by reading each description you will be able to find an area of the city to which you feel called and a people whom you can serve as a representative of Christ’s kingdom.
3. The Missionaries Page: here you will find a list of the international/national missionaries River Valley supports, both financially and in prayer. Each missionary bio will also contain a link to their attached monthly newsletter so that you can stay informed and in prayer for these amazingly faithful front-line servants who are advancing the kingdom around the globe.

Please take some time to visit our new “missions” page at

...and if you have any questions or would like to know more about any of the missions we support, please call the church office at 630.844.9115

Blessings,
