Home Groups
Home Groups gives you a place
to go mid-week where you get to dig a little deeper into
the topic from the Sunday before with other folks in a
little smaller setting. You'll make friends and
find social connections as home church groups do service
projects and outings together. You'll learn how to
pray and worship more often through the week. And
you'll get the most up-to-the-minute news and
information about what's going on next at River
City.
If you want your give your spiritual growth
a huge boost, if you need something more than Sunday
mornings and you're ready to learn some more, this is
the perfect opportunity.
Come weekly or twice
each month. Check out the different locations and
see which home group fits you best. But most
important - you should go!
What are Home Groups About?
- A place to grow spiritually and connect with God.
