Mission: The primary objective of fox valley christian action is to partner with the local church in discipling people in under-resourced communities of the fox river valley into a life transforming relationship with jesus christ.
Programs: Riverwoods family campus is our 85 acre residential camp and conference center located in st. Charles. Every summer, riverwoods provides 800 children and teenagers from low-income communities the opportunity to come to summer camp at no cost to their families.
riverworks lifeskills outreach is the community side of our ministry. Riverworks has full time staff members, called community coordinators, whose primary purpose is to equip and empower local churches to do hands on ministry in the housing communities of aurora and elgin. The riverworks ministry and our church partners currently reach a small portion of the 800 youth served through the summer camp. We are working to build more church partnerships with the goal to eventually reach a point where all of the youth served through the summer camp will have an opportunity to be mentored and disciple in their christian faith year-round through local church ministries.
