Lifegroups
Lifegroups facilitate connection and discipleship. Everyone at RFC is invited to join one. Our desire is to help us connect, build family and grow in Jesus.
Groups
Join a lifegroup
Lifegroups meet at various times and locations throughout the week. There are different styles of groups: 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).
We operate a termly sign-up system, but you can join most groups at any point of the term. To sign up to a group, click the link under the photo. The Leaders will then be in touch with you. To find out more, please contact Kathryn Amos, Lifegroup Coordinator.
