Growth Groups are small groups where individuals can grow spiritually, build relationships, and support one another. These groups provide a space for deeper connections and personal growth within the Riverside community.

At Riverside Church, Growth Groups are a vital part of our community, designed to foster deep connections, spiritual growth, and personal transformation. These small, supportive gatherings provide a space for individuals to explore their faith, share experiences, and encourage one another on their spiritual journeys. In Growth Groups, members engage in meaningful discussions, study scripture together, and pray for one another, building relationships that extend beyond Sunday services. By cultivating an environment of love and accountability, Growth Groups empower individuals to grow closer to God while forming lasting friendships. Join us as we grow together in faith and purpose, creating a vibrant community rooted in love, support, and shared journeys.
