PLEASE NOTE THAT GOING FORWARD THERE IS NO 'PREVIEW NIGHT' FORMAT ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE TERM.
WEEK 1 WILL BE THE START OF YOUR GROUP FOR THAT SESSION.

We believe God created us to live in relationship with others so that we can grow in our faith, receive care in life’s ups and downs,

and serve others. Connection is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren’t always easy to find.
That’s why Life Groups exist—to make these life-changing connections enjoyable and accessible for you.

How to join a group

When the online directory is open, you can search for a group to join based on your interest and availability. From the group listing, you can join a group or reach out to the leader to ask any questions.

What are Life Groups?

Life Groups are a place for you to grow in relationships with others, through an activity or discussion. We believe God wants every person to experience abundant life here on Earth and designed us to find freedom and healing in relationship with others.

Is childcare provided?

You can search for groups that provide childcare using the online directory search filters. If childcare is provided, details for childcare will be included in the listing.

Wednesday nights have activities for all ages! River Kids programing for 0yrs-5th grade and River Youth for 6th-12th grade.
