GROUPS
CONNECT IN A GROUP!
You were created to experience life with other people. Groups are designed to help you grow in faith and understanding of God’s word, connect and build friendships, and serve and participate in missions.
Groups come in all shapes and sizes. Married couples, singles, men, women, kids, no kids, workplace, home, under 20, over 40 – the list goes on! No matter where you are in life, there’s a group for you. We have groups that meet on campus and off campus to meet your specific needs.
All our groups spend time in God’s Word discovering how God’s Truth applies and is lived out in everyday life. This is where real, life-enriching relationships can form and develop.
For more information about groups email info@riveroakchurch.org
