At River Springs Church, we believe that life is best lived in an environment of meaningful, authentic friendships where every person has the opportunity to know one another and to be known by others. To truly experience life at its best, it is important to find a place where we can connect with others and walk through this life journey together. life.groups are groups that meet in homes around our area to study the Bible and meet each other's needs. life.groups are our way of connecting people with God through Jesus Christ, and connecting others in an authentic community of faith.

life.groups began on Wednesday but everyone is always welcome and encouraged to come. For more information, or to join a group, email Jimmy Parris as jimmy.parris@gmail.com.
