Groups
Sermon Discussion Group - Heart Attitudes
Starting in September, Pastor Stephen will begin preaching on the 7 Keys to Healthy Biblical Community, (the Heart Attitudes) as they are foundational to the type of community we are striving to build at RiverPark Church. This Sermon Discussion Group will help you take the ideas presented on Sunday, and with the help of others, learn to weave them into everyday life.
What's the book about?
Whether it’s family, friendships, work, or community, relationships are the source of most of our joys—and pains. Like plants, relationships require care to grow but can be easily damaged. This book will help you discover seven biblical practices that will help you cultivate and repair relationships in your daily life to enjoy them through the years.
When is it?
The men's group will meet Tuesday nights from 7 to 8:30 pm starting Sept 14.
The women's group will meet Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30 pm starting Sept 15.
Both groups will take a break for Thanksgiving week and end in early December.
Where will it meet?
All groups will begin meeting outside for as long as the weather cooperates.
The Tuesday night men's group will meet outside at the Rohr's home in West Parkville (sign up for address).

Begin getting traction with Jesus
Horizon is an opportunity for you to grow as a Christian, make friends you can grow with, and understand what it takes to make a difference in the world.
Growth in the Christian life requires intentional effort beyond church attendance. With this in mind, Horizon was created to provide you with opportunities to develop the perspective and values necessary to experience and grow a God-centered life that is full of meaning.
Ephesians 5:8-10 says, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.” NIV
Horizon is designed to help you “find out what pleases the Lord” and take steps to further establish yourself in your walk with God. Through this training you will learn the essentials for living a life that pleases God by reading the Bible, building practical habits for Christian living, studying what God says about different arenas of life, and learning to choose His ways.
When is it?
Every other Wednesday night from 6:30-8:30 pm
(Sep 15 through May 2022 with a break for the Holidays)
To alleviate the need for childcare, men and women’s groups will alternate weeks with each group meeting every other week.
Ladies will start first on Sep 15 followed by the men on Sep 22.
Where will the group meet?
At the Petton's home on the West side of Parkville. (Sign-up for the address) Groups will meet outside as long as the weather cooperates.
What's the Cost?
Access to the Horizon training website costs $20. There will be videos, reading guides, and more that you will need as we walk through the group together.
