September Movie Night: How To Train Your Dragon
This fall, we’re bringing back Movie Nights on the fourth Friday of each month at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Since our church building was once a neighborhood movie theater, these events are a natural way to welcome the community into a familiar space and give people a chance to experience church in a relaxed, approachable setting. It’s a simple way to share the hope of Christ, through stories that spark conversation and connections with friends, family, and neighbors.
This month’s feature is “How to Train Your Dragon”, the story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the unlikely son of a Viking chief who chooses a different path when he befriends a Night Fury dragon. Their friendship challenges the assumptions of his village and opens the door to change, a theme that reminds us how courage and compassion can transform lives. The film is rated PG, and we encourage parents to check reviews on Common Sense Media or contact our Family Ministry Director with questions.
Movie Nights are free, but because they’re popular, each person needs to reserve their own seat in advance. Popcorn, candy, and drinks are available, with a donation box nearby for those who’d like to help cover costs. Be sure to reserve your seats, and consider inviting someone new - Movie Night is one of the easiest ways to help a friend experience Riverstone for the first time!

Show Me The Father Film & Discussion
Join us for a special showing of Show Me the Father: a powerful documentary from the creators of War Room that will challenge and inspire how you view both earthly and heavenly fatherhood.
After the film, we’ll gather for a guided community discussion on one of the most pressing issues of our time: fatherlessness. Together, we’ll explore how fatherlessness affects families, schools, and neighborhoods right here in our community, and practical ways we can step up -as fathers, mothers, mentors, and community members - to fill the gap and strengthen the next generation.
Come ready to share, listen, and be part of shaping solutions that bring encouragement, restoration, and hope.

Renovate Youth Retreat
Get ready for an unforgettable weekend! Over the past year and a half, youth ministries across the Bismarck area have been dreaming and praying about hosting a community youth retreat, and that dream is now a reality with Renovate Youth Weekend for students in grades 6-12.
We’re partnering with New Hope Worship Center in Lemmon, SD, where the old Lemmon High School has been transformed into a powerful ministry center. The best part? The entire retreat experience happens under one roof, creating the perfect space for students to gather, grow, and encounter God.
ren·o·vate
to restore to good condition, make new, refresh, revive
That’s what this weekend is all about: giving students the opportunity to step away from distractions, connect deeply with God, and experience the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit. Retreats like this have sparked transformational moments for countless young people, and we believe God is going to move powerfully again.

October Movie Night: Woodlawn
This month’s movie night feature is "Woodlawn". In 1973, newly desegregated Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Alabama, had its first black football players - like Tony Nathan, a gifted running back. Viewers are introduced to Tony, Coach Tandy Gerelds, and Hank Erwin, a sports chaplain affiliated with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes who wants to work with the team to inspire them to "come to Jesus." Hank shows up and asks Coach Gerelds for time to speak to the team; Gerelds gives him five minutes, and when he returns to the gym an hour later, Hank is still there and has miraculously converted nearly the entire team to evangelical Christianity. Newly rededicated to their faith, the team transforms into a true brotherhood, putting their friendships - and their football - above racial differences. Inspired by his team, Gerelds also professes his faith, and the team, still guided by Hank, works together to play for the glory of God. Rated PG, we encourage parents to check reviews on Common Sense Media or reach out to our Family Ministry Director for more details.
Our Movie Nights are always free but advance seat reservations are required. Due to the popularity of these events, we require each attendee to have a seat reserved in their own name. If you need help completing this form, please contact our office. Popcorn, candy, and drinks are available and a freewill donation box is located nearby if you'd like to help us cover the cost of those items. Be sure to reserve your seats in advance, and take advantage of this unique opportunity to introduce someone new to Riverstone!

The Rock Kick-Off Carnival
Join us for a Kick-Off Carnival at The Rock on Wednesday, September 10! We’re starting this year at The Rock with a celebration! Everyone is invited to join us on Wednesday, September 10 for our Kick-Off Carnival - a night filled with food, fun, and vision for the year ahead.
The evening begins with a family meal at 5:30 PM, with the main events beginning at 6:30 PM. We’ll wrap up the night by 8:30 PM, so you can bring the whole family and be part of it from start to finish.
But this isn’t just about games and food, it’s about stepping into a new year of ministry with BOLD faith. Parents, especially, are encouraged to come and hear about these exciting updates and more for Wednesday nights:
Something for everyone, from 5:30 - 8:30 PM
No drop-off model for kids ministry this year as we shift our focus to families worshiping, learning, and serving together
Our theme for this year is BOLD. We are living in a time of deep searching. This generation is bombarded with noise, confusion, and empty promises, yet in the midst of all of it, there is a holy hunger rising. We believe this generation was born for such a time as this, not to blend into culture, but to be set apart by the love, power, and presence of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is bold, and it’s urgent: to see young people radically encounter Jesus, be transformed by His love, and live with a contagious faith that reshapes their world.
We’re here to equip and empower young people to walk in the fullness of who God created them to be. We believe in cultivating an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit moves freely, where kids and students discover that following Jesus isn’t just right, it’s worth everything
In a world full of noise and confusion, we’re called to live differently: with courage, with faith, and with the power of Jesus at the center of it all. The Kick-Off Carnival is your chance to catch the vision, connect with others, and step into what God is doing in and through The Rock this year.\
Come ready to celebrate, to hear, and to be challenged to live your faith BOLDLY.

Young Adults Bonfire
Join us for a cozy night around the fire with good friends, laughter, and community! Whether you’re looking to meet new people or just hang out under the stars, this is the perfect place to connect.
Who’s invited? All young adults - anyone who’s out of high school up through age 35. Bring your friends, your favorite campfire stories, and get ready for s’mores, music, and plenty of fun!

Community Youth Service
Middle & High School students are invited to join us for a Community Youth service on Wednesday, September 3 to kick off the new school year! Meet us at New Song Church at 6:30 PM!


Family Worship Day
Worship as a family today during services at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM services! There will not be kids programming or staffed nursery this week.

Worship Night
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer…” Psalm 18:2
In a world that often feels heavy and uncertain, we need moments to come together to worship, to pray, and to be reminded of who our God is. Join us for a powerful Worship Night on August 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Riverstone Church, where we will lift high the name of Jesus through music, Scripture, and prayer.
This night is more than just songs. It is a time to stand side by side as a community, to encourage one another, and to boldly seek God’s presence. We will pray for one another’s burdens, give thanks for His faithfulness, and declare, like David in Psalm 18, that the Lord is our strength, our shield, and our salvation.
Whether you are weary or rejoicing, full of faith or full of questions, there is space for you. Let’s gather with one voice and one heart, trusting that God will meet us in the worship, in the silence, and in every cry for help.

Kids Summer Movie Series: Mufasa The Lion King
This summer, Riverstone is hosting the Kids Summer Movie Series again on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 AM, and it’s a great way to get the kids out of the house and into something that’s fun but also points them toward Jesus. We’ll be showing a different family-friendly movie each week, and there’s no set cost—just a freewill donation if you’d like. Popcorn, drinks, and fruit snacks will be available every week, so the kids can snack while they watch, and parents can relax knowing they’re covered.
One of the best parts is that this series isn’t just about watching movies—it’s also about creating space for faith conversations at home. Each week, we’ll send kids home with a simple activity sheet that connects to the movie, and parents will get a conversation guide with questions and talking points tied to scenes from that week’s film. It’s all designed to help families talk about what they’re watching in a way that brings Jesus into the conversation, naturally and without pressure.
You can reserve your seats online up to a month in advance, which helps a lot if you’ve got a group or a daycare planning to come. And we’d love for daycares and summer programs to be a part of this! Just let us know so we can make sure there are enough snacks and space for everyone. This is a great midweek outing that doesn’t require much effort but still gives you a chance to connect with your kids on a deeper level.
At the heart of it, the Summer Movie Series is about more than just something to do on a Wednesday. It’s a chance to bring our community together, open our doors to new families, and let kids experience the love of Jesus in a simple, welcoming way. Whether you’re coming with your own kids or bringing a whole crew from daycare, we hope to see you there!

This summer, Riverstone is hosting the Kids Summer Movie Series again on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 AM, and it’s a great way to get the kids out of the house and into something that’s fun but also points them toward Jesus. We’ll be showing a different family-friendly movie each week, and there’s no set cost—just a freewill donation if you’d like. Popcorn, drinks, and fruit snacks will be available every week, so the kids can snack while they watch, and parents can relax knowing they’re covered.
One of the best parts is that this series isn’t just about watching movies—it’s also about creating space for faith conversations at home. Each week, we’ll send kids home with a simple activity sheet that connects to the movie, and parents will get a conversation guide with questions and talking points tied to scenes from that week’s film. It’s all designed to help families talk about what they’re watching in a way that brings Jesus into the conversation, naturally and without pressure.
You can reserve your seats online up to a month in advance, which helps a lot if you’ve got a group or a daycare planning to come. And we’d love for daycares and summer programs to be a part of this! Just let us know so we can make sure there are enough snacks and space for everyone. This is a great midweek outing that doesn’t require much effort but still gives you a chance to connect with your kids on a deeper level.
At the heart of it, the Summer Movie Series is about more than just something to do on a Wednesday. It’s a chance to bring our community together, open our doors to new families, and let kids experience the love of Jesus in a simple, welcoming way. Whether you’re coming with your own kids or bringing a whole crew from daycare, we hope to see you there!

Community Youth Event: Worship Night
Summer youth ministry events are open for any student going into 6th grade next school year through those who graduated high school this spring. We’ve got a fun mix of Riverstone and Community Youth events planned all summer long to provide plenty of opportunities for connection and fellowship for our students!
We aren’t able to provide transportation to or from these events but we encourage you to carpool if you can! Riverstone youth leaders will be present at every event to make sure there is at least one friendly Riverstone face for kids to connect with when they arrive. Friends are always welcome and encouraged to come!
Join us for a worship night at Sibley Park on Friday, July 18 at 7 PM.
