River City Grow is the adult education ministry offered at River City Community Church. Growth Groups are where you commit to a short term group for a set period of time with a specific area of focus. You can expect to find groups that focus on spiritual and personal growth, family and finances, and support & recovery. If there’s something you need to grow through, or maybe grow towards, or if you just want to know more about Jesus and what it means to follow Him, then check out River City Grow.

TRUSTWORTHY
Overcoming Our Greatest Struggles to Trust God
When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try. Join other women in a Lysa TerKerust study of 1 & 2 Kings.
