Guest Speaker
Ajay Thomas
Pastor, Seven Mile Road Church
Ajay Thomas was born and raised in New York to first generation immigrant parents. After studying history in college, Ajay moved to Boston to attend Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary where he received his Master of Divinity. During his time in seminary, Ajay learned about church planting and gained a vision for advancing the gospel through the local church. In 2008, he and his wife Shainu were sent to plant Seven Mile Road Church in Philadelphia where they still live and serve with their two children, Hannah and Micah. In 2015, Ajay connected with a group of South Asian leaders who shared his passion for church planting and together they founded the Advance Initiative with the goal to see a global movement of gospel centered, multiethnic churches planted by or among South Asians.
Worship Band
River Valley AGES
An extension of River Valley Worship, AGES is the sound of the young people of River Valley Church. While AGES is a band, its vision extends far beyond music. AGES believes that God is doing something special in the next generation and seeks to be part of that movement. Through its music, AGES aims to inspire and empower young people to create through the unique gifts God has given them.
