Congregational Care
Christian Counseling
We all have emotional needs, and can usually lean on family, friends, or members of our small group. However, there are times when problems are more complicated and we need the guidance of a professional. When that is the case, River Oaks can aid you in finding trained, Christian counselors. For details and fee information, visit surecord.com or contact → the church.
Prayer
We are encouraged to communicate with God through prayer. God invites us to pray for each other, and there are many at River Oaks who will gladly bring your requests before God. River Oaks has prayer teams who intercede regularly for our members. If you have a special need or circumstance that you would like someone to pray about, you may write your requests on the “Hey, I’m Here” cards that are attached to our bulletins on Sunday mornings, or anytime online.
If you are interested in joining a prayer team and praying for others, please contact us →
Marriage Matters
Marriage Matters is for couples who want to enrich, restore, or make an investment in their marriage relationship. Participants agree to meet with other married couples for encouragement and tips on maintaining healthy, Christ-centered relationships with their spouses.

Hospital Visitation and Meal Ministry
We care about you. When a member faces illness or loss, we want to know about it. Our Congregational Care Pastor and Hospital Visitation Team are prepared to visit any member who is scheduled for surgery or unexpectedly hospitalized.
There are times after a loss or hospitalization when a few prepared meals can help a family get back on track.
Please contact us → for more information about Hospital Visitation or Meal Ministry.
Shut-ins
Our Shut-in Ministry is responsible for keeping in touch with and encouraging those in our church family who have active, chronic illnesses or disabilities. The team sends weekly Sunday announcements and sermon CDs to those unable to attend services. A pastor will also arrange for regular visits for communion.
Care-Net
This ministry provides biblically-based support, encouragement, and information for those who are chronically ill or caretakers of a loved one. We meet the 1st and 3rd Sundays from 3 to 4:30 pm in the Prayer Room. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
