What Makes Rio Different?

Rio is intentional about facilitating relationships on all levels—child to child, child to leader, leader to parent, parent to child—all in the context of our relationship to God.

Rio has been developed in partnership with real people doing real ministry in churches across the country.

Rio isn’t a static curriculum. Rio stays current through the Rio Essentials online resources that enhance the Rio experience. We also take your feedback to heart and work continually to provide you with the tools, training, and experiences you need to be successful.

RIO is Relational—Today’s kids are "connected" like never before, but they're also very isolated. Many of their relationships are completely digital and filtered through the anonymity that electronic devices provide. Rio was developed to eliminate relational barriers and to foster the authentic and relevant relationships kids hunger for.

RIO is Intentional—Information is cheap to today’s kids. They can get more information than they'll ever need quickly and easily. They can know a lot about God without ever really knowing God. Rio stresses spiritual formation. Every lesson is God-focused, builds Bible study skills, and helps kids understand each Bible story in the context of God’s grand redemptive plan throughout history.

RIO is Overflow—Discipling leaders to share from the overflow of their own hearts is what Rio is all about. Rio is designed to feed and challenge everyone involved in the experience. Part of the goal of every Rio lesson is to provide a path that takes leaders and children on a journey through discovering God’s Word and hearing His voice. It’s a journey they can share.
