Small Groups
We believe the gospel is best lived out in community. In small groups we study the Bible together, build friendships, and live out our faith with others. Small groups are for people looking to grow in their faith and for those exploring what faith means to them.
OUR CORE VALUES
Gospel Centered
It's All About Jesus
We believe that the gospel should be central to everything we believe and do such as our preaching, teaching, discipleship, philosophy of ministry, and how we relate to each other.
Ministry is About Relationships
Following Jesus Together
We believe that the gospel is meant to be applied and displayed in community, which means that ministry is ultimately about relationships.
The Heart
The Core of Who We Are
We believe that ministry should focus on the heart, which is the foundational place from which all meaningful and lasting transformation stems from.
Gospel + Safety + Time
How People Change
We believe that meaningful and lasting growth and change requires an environment of gospel + safety + time.
Maturity Through Mission
Growing as We’re Going
We believe that actively engaging in the mission of making disciples is an essential part of being a healthy and growing disciple of Jesus.
Missionaries > Magnets
The Ministry of All Believers
We believe that our primary philosophy of outreach should be centered on our people thinking and acting like missionaries in their everyday lives.
Developing Leaders
Making Disciple-Making Disciples
We believe that the strategic and intentional development of disciple-making leaders should be prioritized in the life of our church.
Healthy Multiplication
Healthy Growth Matters
We believe that the multiplication of disciples, leaders, small groups, and churches is a natural outworking of growing in the gospel and should always be pursued in healthy ways.
Corporate Worship
The Gathering of the Church
We believe that the regular corporate gathering of the church plays a unique and indispensable role in carrying out our vision and mission.
River City Church is affiliated with the
Evangelical Free Church of America.
