Life Groups

Being a Christian is about belonging, not just believing.  We have been created for community, to belong to the body of Christ; to use our gifts to help others in the church, while relying on the gifts of others when we need help.  It’s about living life together so no one stands alone.

“As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” 

(Ephesians 4:16)

Here at New River, we want everyone to experience this kind of authentic community; therefore we have developed Life Groups to help you get connected to God’s family in this way.  A Life Group is a small group of 3 - 15 people who meet weekly outside the church building for the purpose of evangelism and discipleship with the goal of multiplication.

A Life Group is the basic unit of Christian community.  It functions to provide a place where members gather around the presence of Christ, support one another as a family, reach out in ministry and evangelism to the hurting world, and mentor and release new leaders.  The ultimate goal of each Life Group is to multiply itself as the group grows through evangelistic outreach.

It is our dream to become a church who is "open" 24 hours a day and 7 datys a week.  We will accomplish this as more and more Life Groups are added to the network.  To see a list of our current Life Group s check out our New River Life Group List.  If you'd like more information about our Life Group's please contact the church office at 648-2970.
