MENTORING
This summer we had a taste of mentor relationships through Summer Sisters – sharing our lives one-on-one with another mom and spurring one another along in our walk with Jesus (like iron sharpens iron). If you want to keep that relationship going, go for it! If you are interested in being a mentor or being mentored let us know!

Grounded Groups
Calling all River Families! It is time to get connected to a Grounded Group! We will try to pair you up with other families that have the same age to encourage connection and doing life together. Grounded Groups are a small group experience that allow us to simply connect with each other and grow in our relationship with God. We meet in various homes around the South Bay for a light dinner or dessert and a discussion of the Sunday morning message. We host Grounded Groups in the fall, the winter, and spring for 6-12 weeks in each session. Your group will be a great way to meet and get to know others at The River Church, and grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, in a casual, relaxed setting. If you are interested in joining a group click here for more information.
