Groups
Lifegroups
Staying connected throughout the week is paramount to our spiritual and mental health. Lifegroups are a major part of this and everyone is invited to join one. We want all those who come to RFC to share lives, journey together and grow in Jesus.
Join a lifegroup
We have numbers of lifegroups and they meet at various times throughout the week. There are Classic (typically worship, reading Bible, sharing needs), Equipping (designed to help in a stage of life or equip you in a specific way) and Interest (gathering around an interest to foster friendship and discipleship) groups. We operate a termly sign up system but you can join most groups at any point of the term.
Summer 2024 lifegroups will be open from the 14 April. To find out more, please contact Kathryn Amos, Lifegroup Administrator.
