The River has a diverse array of groups and gatherings that allow small groups of River-ites to meet regularly in people's homes, at the church, at coffee shops and parks, and on Zoom/Google Meet. Joining a group is a great way to feel more connected to the River community and to build meaningful relationships. Every group is a little bit different! Feel free to try out a group (or multiple) and see if you enjoy the format and have a connection with the folks you meet. We hope you'll find a group that clicks with you and becomes a regular part of your schedule.
To RSVP and/or request info about any of the groups, please use the digital Connection Card.
