Purpose

Riverside Community Church believes small groups are the foundation of the church community. They exist to help us love God by loving others, thrive in our walks with the Lord and to focus on reaching out to those who don't know Jesus.

“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others” -2 Timothy 2:2

Mission

Small groups encourage the body to take responsibility for one another. It is this bond of relationships that builds trust so that the body can work for the glory of God. The small group should be the hand of service, held together by the strong bonds of lives abiding in Christ, a group of believers who are fully vested both in each other and in the common goal of spreading the Good News of the Gospel.
