Join a House Group

House Groups form the Heartbeat of the Riverside Community. They begin with House Group Beginnings, a five-week casual gathering to get a taste of a Riverside House Group. Then, when a new House Group is ready to begin House Group Connect allows a season of checking out the times, location and fit. The House Group itself then begins for a two-year commitment of living room and community life , learning the practices of friendship, hospitality and offering the welcome of Jesus to one another's real life situations.
