Short-Term Studies
One of our core values at River Ridge is that we never stop growing. Short-term studies provide a focused opportunity to deepen our understanding of who God is and to discover truth through His Word—together.
These groups are designed to foster meaningful connection and spiritual growth within a community over an 8–12 week period. Whether you’re new to River Ridge, not currently part of a home group, or simply looking for a seasonal way to grow, short-term studies are a great next step—no matter where you are in your journey with Christ.

RLV: The Study

About the Study:
Experience the Bible like never before with RVL: The Study by Ray Vander Laan. This immersive video-based study brings Scripture to life by exploring its historical and cultural context through the teaching of renowned biblical and Jewish scholar Ray Vander Laan.
By viewing the Bible through first-century eyes, participants gain a deeper understanding of God’s Word and how it applies to life today. This study invites you to engage Scripture in a fresh, meaningful way—connecting faith, history, and daily living.

Heaven

Have you ever wondered . . .?
- What is Heaven really going to be like?
- What will we look like?
- What will we do every day?
- Won’t Heaven get boring after a while?
We all have questions about what Heaven will be like, and after twenty-five years of extensive research, Dr. Randy Alcorn has the answers.
In the most comprehensive and definitive book on Heaven to date, Randy invites you to picture Heaven the way Scripture describes it, a bright, vibrant, and physical New Earth, free from sin, suffering, and death, and brimming with Christ’s presence, wondrous natural beauty, and the richness of human culture as God intended it.
This is a book about real people with real bodies enjoying close relationships with God and each other, eating, drinking, working, playing, traveling, worshiping, and discovering on a New Earth. Earth as God created it. Earth as he intended it to be.
The next time you hear someone say, “We can’t begin to imagine what Heaven will be like!” you’ll be able to tell them, I can.
