Life Groups

Welcome!

Life Groups are one of the best ways a person can build community and grow closer to God. Coupled with Sunday morning gatherings, our Life Groups are River Life's primary point of contact for prayer, encouragement, and following Jesus. If you are in a Life Group--great, stay engaged! If you are not in a Life Group yet, we would love for you to join one.  


Typically Life Groups will meet weekly for about 10 weeks, and will be offered in the winter, spring, and fall, with breaks in between.

 

How do you choose a group? 

You might choose a group based on location, or shared interests, or simply what works with your schedule. We think chemistry is really important, so folks are encouraged to try different groups until they find a good fit. You can also participate in a group for a season, then try another group the following season.  

 

Who are Life Groups for?

Life Groups are for everyone! We hope that our groups will help every person grow in their faith, no matter their starting point. Never read a page of the Bible before? Life Groups are for you! Nervous about praying in front of other people? Life Groups are for you! Do you have big questions about God? You guessed it... Life Groups are for you.


If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Williams.

Triads

Triads are groups of three people growing in friendship with God and one another through conversation and listening. Instead of reading through the Bible or a book, the "content" of a triad is simply the stuff of life. If you like learning and growing, encouraging and being encouraged, challenging and being challenged, all through good questions and generous listening, triads could be a great fit for you. 


Why three people? Adding a third person to a conversation removes a lot of pressure that might exist in a one-on-one conversation. It also invites an extra set of ears, and an extra perspective and insight. In groups larger than three or four people, it is too easy to sideline yourself and avoid meaningful conversation. 


Sign up individually or as a group. Each triad determines their own meeting time, day, and place. Get the dates on your calendars. Once set, make a commitment to attend regularly and really be present. 


• Meet for 10-12 weeks
• One hour per meeting
• Once per month, do something fun or service-oriented!
