Christmas Eve Services Wednesday, December 24th at the Annex at 5:30 & 7:00 p.m.
THRIVE GROUPS CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD WEEKLY SERMON SERIES QUESTIONS
JOIN A THRIVE GROUP! Take a look around RiverTree on any weekend. You're going to see all kinds of people. Different people with different backgrounds and each one is at a different place on their journey to knowing God.
With that in mind, we believe in experiencing life together in Thrive groups. Thrive groups are small groups that help you grow in Christ. We were not created to go at it alone. Connecting with others is very important, because we believe life is best lived in the context of small, tight-knit communities. These vital relationships are where life transformation happens.
If you'd like to join a group, or lead one, contact Steve Kirkbride at a kirkbrides@rivertreechristian.com.
Several RiverTree families in need of a used vehicle in good mechanical condition. If you have one to donate, contact Kathy Specht at 330.494.1860. This can be a tax deductible donation!
