Discipleship | These groups exist to glorify God and transform people through the work of the Holy Spirit into fully developing followers of Christ.
The Book of Colossians
Groups meet from 4/07 - 5/05
There has never lived a more compelling person than Jesus of Nazareth. But is he enough? Enough for your salvation, your character, your purpose? Enough for your whole life? In this five-part series, Jo Ströhfeldt walks through Paul’s words in the book of Colossians to remind us that when we put Jesus at the center of everything, everything changes.
Bible Study Groups
Meet Three Times per year
Our Bible Study Groups are focused on three things that make our fellowship vibrant and effective at developing disciples. The 3 focuses are:
Community- All humans need meaningful and worthwhile relationships. Our small groups will create environments where people get to know others and become known, love others and are loved, serve others and are served, admonish others and are admonished, and celebrate others’ successes and are celebrated.
Spiritual Growth- Our goal is for members to learn how to apply the Gospel to every area of their lives. The study is the heart of the gathering. These studies will help people grow in the understanding of the Gospel and knowledge of the Bible by encouraging application of what is learned.
Prayer- In our gatherings, we will earnestly seek God about the Gospel-centered things going on in our lives, in the life of River Valley Community Church, and in the world.
one to one
Meet together. Read the Bible. Talk about the passage. Pray.
One to One is a gathering where 2-3 people meet to read the Bible and pray together. The goal is to help one another grow in Christian maturity by connecting with God and with one another around God’s Word. While we ask that each group meets weekly, we want each group to structure their time as is best for them.
