Spurring One Another On
Scripture calls all Christians to build one another up. Why? Life presents innumerable challenges, and we need one another to grow in obedience to the Lord. As individuals face various trials, we are called to “bear one another’s burdens” (Gal 6:2) and “mourn when others mourn” (Rom 12:15). We are charged with exhorting one another with sound doctrine (Titus 2:1-8). And we are called to “consider how we may spur one another to love and good deeds” (Heb 10:24).
While this “one-anothering” happens in a lot of contexts at River Oaks (including community groups), one special way we see it play out is in our women’s, men’s, and young adult ministries.
Women’s Ministry
We are women of all ages within ROC—both new attendees and long-time members—united in Christ. Our desire is that Seeds of Grace would serve as a connection point for women to the life and ministries of the church, fostering opportunities for meaningful fellowship and faithful service.
- Weekly Bible Studies: We offer two women’s Bible studies throughout the year—typically one in the evening and one in the morning—with various childcare options available. We long to be nourished by the Word of God and to equip women to study Scripture with care and confidence. Learn more about what we’re studying this semester here.

- Showers: We host showers for first-time moms and brides as a way of celebrating and supporting them in these special seasons. Know someone who fits this category? Please let us know!
Leadership: Our Women’s Ministry Team is led by: Gretel Tabares, Anna Baker, Lynn Shaw, Susanna McConnell, & Maggie Oh.

Young Adult Fellowship (YAF)
Our Young Adults Fellowship is a vibrant community whose purpose is to create fellowship opportunities for the believing and non-believing young adults in our area.
Our goal is to provide a welcoming and engaging environment where young adults can build lasting relationships, be encouraged in their faith, and simply enjoy good community. We believe in living out our faith boldly, inspired by Christ’s love, and we invite all young adults to join us!
