Student Pastors and LIFE Groups

Ok, I admit it, I don't always read other staff postings in a "timely" manner.  Yesterday afternoon, I was reading some past posts, and there was our student pastor giving some props to LIFE Groups.  You know things are good when the student guy is giddy about community building.  Go Paul!

I couldn't help but think back to the early days of RCC.  We were firm in our thinking that LIFE Groups would be our primary vehicle for relationship building and discipleship.  Some would say that we were hard headed.  but I prefer to think of it as confident obedience. 

Let me be clear:  we don't have the "group thing" perfect.  We haven't duplicated ourselves nearly enough, and almost all of our groups are too big.  However, every week I hear amazing stories of how important groups are to our people. 

Thank you Ridgeview for buying in!  Thanks for welcoming new people into your little "families."  And thanks, RCC staff, for taking the plunge!  The ride continues!!
