At Riverside Church, we value connection and community. Our desire is to help people grow through relationships with others and with Jesus. We are a welcoming church where everyone can find a place to belong and take steps in their faith.
Come join our community and grow in your relationship with Jesus alongside others who are walking the same journey.
We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating, and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at Riverside Church a great one!
Riverside Church meets every weekend at 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. with our 11:15 a.m. service being streamed online via Facebook.
Sunday's at Riverside Church are exciting, casual, and relaxed. Come as you are and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.
Our vision is to be a Spirit-filled church where people are saved, disciples are made, the gifts of the Spirit are active, and believers are equipped to impact their world. We seek to expand the Kingdom of God in our city, our region, and our generation until Jesus is known everywhere.
Our mission is to connect people, help them grow in their faith, equip them to serve others, and develop them to lead.
We believe that kids should have a blast at church every single week - and at Riverside Kids, we make this a priority.
The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Riverside Kids program the first time that you visit.
You’ll want to leave yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in for the Riverside Kids experience. Riverside Kids is offered for kids 2 years old through 5th grade.
