Welcome to 242 Student Ministries!

242 is a ministry of Riverchase Community Church in Hoover, Alabama for students, grades 7 through 12.  Our purpose is to encourage all students to grow daily and live radically for Jesus Christ.  We desire that all our students continually discover true worship and contagious outreach so that they can become the Christ-centered leaders of tomorrow. 

To do this: we strive to create an environment where students come to hear and see the gospel.  We believe that we are designed to have a relationship with the Creator---cultivated by humility, sensitivity to the Spirit, the study of Scripture, living simply, and serving others.

242 Purpose: Impact, Change, and Equip students with the message of Jesus Christ.

Acts 2:42 -47

And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. And everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. And all those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions, and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. And day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.
