Kingdom Connections
Communities
...We are better together!
Chris & Lisa Luck
Kingdom Connections Pastors
We were never meant to "do life" alone, God created us for connection & community! Pastor Ron always expresses that it's our Kingdom Connections Communities (small groups) that are the life blood of The River. KC Communities bring the River family together with other believers and the non-churched, into homes and around tables, in order to build the KINGDOM through rich fellowship, personalized care, and strong community. We create safe spaces for everyone to gather and walk this journey with Jesus together. If you have any questions about our KC Communities, please contact us, we are here to help you find the right community that meets your needs!
KINGDOM CONNECTIONS COMMUNITIES
Find your tribe and get connected!
Our Kingdom Connections are open to everyone; you do not have to attend The River to join one of our KC Communities.
We have a variety of different groups to choose from...Bible Study, Prayer, Book Study, Video Series, Spiritual Focus, Teaching, Training, and Fun Activities...no cookie-cutter small groups here!
Feel free to connect with our Kingdom Connections leaders for more information about their KC Community and to get the address for their meeting location.

Women in the Word
Bible & Book Study
A space where women of all walks of life can come together and study the Word of God!
LEADER: Melanie Courtney
Thursdays
6:30PM-8:00PM (The River Church Toano Campus)
"40 Day Sugar Fast" by Wendy Speake
Where physical detox meets spiritual transformation
Want to know how much control something has over your life? Try fasting from it...and you'll quickly find out! This group is open to all women who want to "detox" from anything (not just sugar) that is holding us back from living in the fullness of all God has for us. This will be a safe space where God can renew hearts, restore freedom, and truly make our lives sweeter as we walk together with the Lord.
Less of the world...more of Him.
