Life Groups
We believe we were designed to live in community, so we have many different groups available to help you get connected at Riverside.
Life Groups are designed to help you connect with others and to grow together in faith and encourage one another. Typically they are relationships & discussion-based, but we also have some groups that are more geared toward a “deep dive” into your faith. If you are looking for connection, Life Groups are where you want to be, so check out what we have available for you!
What do I need to do?
1. Select a Group that interests you.
2. Contact the host saying that you are interested.
3. Go and have fun while meeting new friends.

We start with a social time, we share a snack or meal, we share prayer requests, and then we delve into the Word of God. It is a great way to go deeper into the Word while enjoying the fellowship of believers. New members are always welcome.
Note: This group has been meeting in various forms for more than 5 years now and over this time the make-up of the group has changed. There are a few of us who were there from the beginning, while some have moved on. We are eager to make new friends and to share in the sweet fellowship that we have enjoyed by being a part of this group. Since we will be meeting at different people’s homes, the group is not suitable for children.
