WE ARE SO EXCITED THAT YOU ARE

INTERESTED IN GETTING CONNECTED AT RVCC!

So, how does this work?

Look through this page and pick the group you’d like to join. Click the "I'm Ready to Join a Group!" button and tell us the number of the group you'd like to join. We'll notify the leader who will be in touch with more information. That's it! It's that simple.

Joining a group is not a lifetime commitment. You are invited to pick a group and jump in for ten weeks (unless otherwise noted), and at the end of that time, you can choose to stay with that group or try another group in the next session this winter. 

 

You are always welcome to send an email to info@rainierview.org and let us know how you'd like to get connected. We'd be happy to help.

Groups will begin the week of February 2 unless otherwise noted.

Whether you're curious, skeptical, or new to the faith, you’re invited! You can expect a meal, thought-provoking videos, engaging discussions, practical insights, and a chance to make new friends. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say (seriously).
