Location Preferences
Although the goal is to attend a Community Group that is nearest to where you live, this is not always possible due to the size of existing groups. In case the group you are currently interested in cannot accommodate more people, what other areas would you potentially be interested in? (Check all that apply).

Contact + Communication
Community Group Leaders will dedicate their personal time to respond to your inquiry about potentially joining their group. A Leader may want to connect with you via email, phone call, or even chat with you at church or over a cup of coffee. So as they honor the time you've put into into this form, we ask that you honor their time by responding promptly to their method of connecting with you. Thank you!
I acknowledge that my name, number, and email may be given to various Community Group Leaders, so they can contact me.
*
Yes - (This is how we connect you with groups and leaders)
I acknowledge that a Community Group Leader will carve out time to respond to this inquiry and therefore, I will respond either through email or a phone call promptly -- even if my interest level for the group has changed.

Community Commitments
Community Group leaders & hosts dedicate time to organize the group, plan gatherings, communicate to members, facilitate the study, and open up their homes. Therefore, we ask that those interested in joining a group simply acknowledge that there is a certain level of commitment that goes into community participation. This maintains a realistic level of expectation and overall health to the group.
I understand that River West Community Groups best serves those who attend River West Church.

Community Group Leadership
Community Group Leaders provide general oversight, and organization for their particular group while championing the vision and values of River West Church. On a ground level, leaders will facilitate the discussion using a 'Sermon Guide' (provided by a Pastor) that is based on the previous Sunday teaching and passage. And - unless there are prior arrangements - the Leader will host the group as well. There is typically a higher demand to join a group than to facilitate/host one, so we are always looking for more volunteers!
