Basics for new believers

This page is intentionally designed for RiverPlace members to walk with a new believer in his or her first 5 weeks as a follower of Christ. It is meant to be a simple and basic introduction to foundation scriptures, done in a casual meet up over a meal or coffee. Upon completion of these 5 weeks, the new believer will then be encouraged to attend foundation classes held in church.
