Ministries
Children
Children are especially close to Christ's heart, and they are close to ours! Nursery through fifth graders are served by many dedicated volunteers at Falling River.
Our children's ministry includes:
Nursery for Sunday morning
Sunday School for all children
Bible Study on Sunday evening
Children's Choirs and Mission Groups for all ages
Fantastic Playground open to the community
Special Trips and Events throughout the year
Youth
Falling River's Youth Group is a lively group of teens who love Jesus! Besides our regularly scheduled meetings on Sunday, we often "break out" of the church walls for special events, trips, and mission projects. The Youth Ministry is currently led by a gifted team of volunteers and parents. All youth workers have been approved by state police background checks. Get in touch with our Youth Coordinator, Judy Williams by email or phone (434-942-1781).
Our Youth Ministry includes:
Sunday School
Bible Study on Sunday evening
Youth on Mission
Special Events and Trips throughout the year
Music
We don't want to show off with music; we want to give glory to God! Our music director is Tamera Owen. She can be reached by email or by phone at 434-363-8239. Falling River's music ministry has many opportunities for just about anyone:
Beginner Choir for preschoolers
Children's Choir
Youth Choir
Sanctuary Choir (traditional & blended music styles)
Missions
For the Falling River Church family, "missions" is not part of our ministry--it is our ministry. In everything we do, we hope to share Christ with others. This may take the form of bold spoken witness or quiet acts of kindness. We may be working on a wheelchair ramp down the street, or contributing to missionaries on the other side of the world. The options are endless. Here are a few of the more prominent mission activities here:
Mission Trips in & out of state

Bible Study
Studying Scripture is neither an academic exercise nor an optional sidebar in our lives. The Bible is our ultimate guide for living and believing. We want to unpack the real-life application of every verse.
From Sunday School to weekday Bible studies, Falling River offers Bible Study opportunities for all age groups.
