Dinner Parties

Dinner Parties is a super way and place to meet people and build great friendships with people just like yourself. Whether you’ve just moved in to Exeter or are an existing River member there’s a seat for you at the table. Dinner Parties are held all across Exeter where we share a meal, pray for each other and discuss the application of the Word to our daily life; it’s all about building authentic relationships – it’s New Testament and essential to doing life well.

Dinner Parties can either be about finding out more about us, meeting people in a smaller setting or plugging in to The River more and discovering a deeper sense of connection to our church.

Dinner Parties provide an opportunity for people to befriend one another, grow in their walk with God and do life in a smaller setting than our main church services. They are fabulously informal, super-friendly and understandingly supportive of where you are at.

Dinner Parties are designed to be life-enriching times of social interaction. They include food, discussion about how we are applying and growing in God’s ‘now word’ to us as a church and prayer for issues that spontaneously emerge from the chatting together. In addition, Dinner Parties may also get together to break bread, go on social outings or work together to help others in the community.

Dinner Parties are hosted by church members, in their homes, on the dates given below. Actual meeting times may vary but will meet at least three times a year. Our hosts are people who are ‘sons’ of the house and as such understand the culture of The River and are able to articulate our values in this informal setting. Obviously the size of our host’s home will dictate the size of the group.

Why not try it out?

We realise that Dinner Parties will not suit everyone, but for many they will be invaluable in providing an opportunity to connect with The River family. They are an access point, a place to meet people, make friends and grow. Being a part of a Dinner Parties group can be for as long as you want. You can come and go, and even try a few different groups until you connect’. So, why not give it a try, there’s nothing to lose but a few calories. lol

Dinner Parties are grouped in the following profiles to help you connect to those you can most identify with:
