How Do I Meet People?
Ryot Church of the Nazarene is not a place for spectators. It is a place for team members. Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman with big responsibilities, we want you to be a part of our vibrant church community. Here is how you can learn, serve, and grow:
Small Groups
Often, small groups of people are better able to interact and learn about a topic than larger groups are. For that reason, we have small groups that meet to satisfy that need and you are invited to participate in a small group.
