Tabernacle is one of several constituent churches that support and direct Rivergate.
Rivergate Adventist Elementary School (“Rivergate”) is a Adventist Christian school accredited through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS) providing education in the Kindergarten through Eighth grades, as well as a pre-school on the premises.
Adventist education seeks to develop a life of faith in God and respect for the dignity of all human beings; to build character akin to that of the Creator; to nurture thinkers rather than mere reflectors of others’ thoughts; to promote loving service rather than selfish ambition; to ensure maximum development of each individual’s potential; and to embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful. An education of this kind imparts far more than academic knowledge. It fosters a balanced development of the whole person – physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Working together, homes, schools, and churches cooperate with divine agencies in preparing learners for responsible citizenship in this world and in the world to come.
In addition to daily worships, Bible classes and special weeks of prayer, we meet every Friday morning at 8:40 for singing and a devotional. Parents are always welcome to join us.
Rivergate’s goals and objectives for education include:
- To teach children that Jesus wants to be and will be their best friend
- To teach Biblical and Christian values
- To develop each child’s individual potential
- To help students develop feelings of self-worth
- To help students develop an interest in, and experience the joy of learning
- To teach students to work and play cooperatively with other
- To help students understand their choices and accept responsibility including the consequences or rewards that come with those choices
- To provide a warm and nurturing environment for children while away from their homes and parents
- To help the students learn to think for themselves and not be merely reflectors of others’ thoughts
- To impart knowledge, understanding, and a personal relationship with God as the Creator and Source of life

Milo Academy has wonderful teachers, a staff who truly care about each student, deans who encourage a Christian lifestyle, but most of all it has students who show what God is all about, no matter who is watching. It’s nice to see young people and some older who practice what they preach. When they say something they truly believe it.
