DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS

Knowing God and Applying His Word Together
The gathered church on Sunday mornings is essential, but discipleship groups provide a crucial context for us to be the church by serving one another and building intentional relationships around God’s Word in a smaller group setting. Discipleship groups connect you to the body of Christ so that you can grow in your knowledge of God, use your spiritual gifts, and serve His people. Discipleship groups are not a “one-size-fits-all.” Therefore, you will find a variety of groups listed below.

Home Groups

Home groups expand discipleship outside the four walls of the church building. Home groups provide a more intimate small group setting so that you can grow, love, and serve with fellow believers. Home groups are scattered all across Northeast Ohio. Scroll down to find a group near you!

Seniors' Group

Join the senior saints for a sweet time of fellowship, solid Biblical teaching, and prayer for one another! The seniors' group meets at Riverview Church on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 10 am. 

WOMEN'S Group

The Bible is a life-changing book. And yet sometimes God’s word can be complex, confusing, and difficult to understand. How do you understand and apply the Scripture in your life? Where do you even begin in preparing to faithfully teach the Bible to others? Join the women’s discipleship group this fall for an 8-week journey in learning Bible Study Tools so that you can mine the treasures of the Scriptures.

Do groups offer childcare? 
Each discipleship group seeks to serve one another and determine how to best care for young children so that families can participate. Contact your discipleship group leader to find out more information.

Can my kids participate? 
Yes, kids ages 12 and up are welcome to participate in discipleship groups.

How big are the home groups?
We aim to follow the example of Jesus in his discipleship group ministry of twelve disciples. Home groups consistently larger than twelve adults will multiply into more home groups.

There is not a discipleship group with a time or location that works for me. What do I do?

Groups are always changing. Let us know where and when works best for you!
