| Ni River is a Church of LIFE Groups |
| God expects that we will grow in relationship with both Him and with each other. We believe at Ni River the best way to grow in both of those relationships is through LIFE groups. A LIFE group is any small group that meets together and is led by a shepherd who is concerned about leading people closer in authentic relationship with each other and with God. That relationship may happen in a small group of people who become friends through home Bible Study or it may happen among a group of friends who serve others in a ministry team. The key is that the group meets consistently and maintains an air of authenticity living out God’s two greatest commandments: "Jesus replied: '"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself." All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.'" Matthew 22:37-40 NIV To find out how you can take the next step in getting connected at Ni River, stop by the Connection Center on Sunday or email us at lifegroups@niriver.org. |
