Riverside Church of Christ
Impact Groups
One of the things we quickly learn when we embark on the spiritual journey to know and love God more is that we cannot do it alone. The beautiful truth of God’s love is that He never intended for that to happen.
We at Riverside believe that God has created us for relationships, both with Him and with other people. In our society, where technology and “busy”-ness can often isolate us from others and where loneliness is as rampant as it has ever been, having strong Christian relationships becomes all the more important.
That is why, for many years, the members of this church have met in small groups known as Impact groups. More than simple fellowship, these groups provide safe, intimate environments where members can be supported and challenged as they seek to grow daily in service to the Lord. Each Impact group has its own identity and may center around diverse activities such as prayer, Bible study, service, or accountability. However, all of our groups are meant to build meaningful, life changing relationships as we all seek to b
e part of God’s mission in the world.
Our sincere prayer is that every member of Riverside will commit to being in an Impact group this year. If you have any questions about becoming involved in a group please contact Jason Graves.
The following is a list of our current Impact groups. While some of our groups meet around a specific geographical region, others contain members from a more widespread area. We have tried to provide you with as much information as possible as you search for a group. Please feel free to contact any of these leaders for more information.
