“One Church...Two Locations”

Small
Groups

“Riverside exists so that people will find and follow Jesus.”

What is a Riverside
Small Group?

They meet regularly (preferably weekly).
They have three or more people attending, including the leader.
They develop and identify an assistant leader.
They model our core values by striving to Revere God with their worship, Connect with each other for their growth, and Contribute to God’s plan for humankind.
Unless specified, they welcome new people into the group any time during a semester.
They are supported by section and zone leaders.
They develop group members into future leaders.
They encourage group members to invite people who are outside of the church.
They complete their topic by the start of the next Sign-Up Rally.
They grow.

I want to join a small group...

If you would like to “get connected” to other people from Riverside and join a Small Group, simply do the following:
Pick up a Small Group Catalog or visit our website at http://www.riversideconnect.org/#/ministries to see what groups you might be interested in joining.
Attend the next Small Group Sign-Up Rally (rallies occur 3 times a year in January, June & September) to sign up for the group of your choice.
If the semester has already begun, contact the Small Group Leader listed to get more information about the group. If you are considering becoming a leader for a Small Group, here are a few steps to take:
Begin praying about what topic you would like to lead.
Register for and attend the next Small Group Leadership Orientation— http://www.riversideconnect.org/#/ministries.
Complete a Small Group Leadership Application packet and bring it to the Orientation.
