Service Groups
 

These groups represent a broad cross-section of the River Oaks body who are brought together for the express purpose of using their skills and abilities to serve others. Individuals are grouped together with others who share a trade, skill, or service that could be offered to others in need. Let us know what your skills and abilities are and we'll try to connect you with other like-minded (or gifted) individuals.

Below is a list of our Service Groups. If you are interested in participating in any of these groups, please stop by the Information Center in the lobby and complete an "Interest Card." Or if you're interested in starting a new Service Group or have any questions, please contact Scott Tilley.
