// Ministries

There is no shortage of things to do around The Rio.  We are building a church family from the ground up.  Here are a few of the things we are working on:

Small Groups
Small groups are the heart and soul of The Rio.  Every week groups of around ten people meet in homes around El Paso to study the Bible and seek God together.  Click here for more information about our groups.

Prayer
Nothing is impossible with God, and nothing is impossible for God's people who pray.  We highly value prayer and take time every Thursday evening to come together and pray for each other and for our city.  We currently meet at the Nelson's house at 7pm.

Music
Our ultimate purpose is to worship God and bring him glory.  We are excited about music at The Rio and dream of a day when our stage will be filled with talented musicians leading a bicultural, bilingual crowd in united worship.  Our music is bilingual, alternating between Spanish songs written by Latin American artists, English songs from the U.S., and songs weaving back and forth between the two.  Our goal is worship that resembles our city - a vibrant and harmonious blending of two worlds.  We believe that God-glorifying music should be loud and full of life.  We are on the lookout for talented musicians.  Join us and help us create something exciting and glorious!

Community Service
Our vision at The Rio is to bring life to the world around us.  That includes spiritually as well as physically.  We have worked with orphanages and colonias in Juarez, as well as serving other ministries and neighbors here in El Paso.  If you know anyone who needs help with a project, please contact us and let us know!

Missions
We have only been here for a few months, but we have already partnered with seven short term missions projects with some of our churches in other cities.  El Paso is a great place to bring a group to do evangelism and community service in a large international city. The costs are minimal and the opportunities are great!  Contact us if you are interested in learning more about short term missions projects.
