Riverside Church is associated with the Assemblies of God.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Vision:

Spread the Good news - until everyone hears

We want to fulfill the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20. We are passionate about spreading the Good News of Jesus's Birth, Life, Death, and Resurrection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Mission:

Lead People to Christ through Word and deed

We want every believer to be engaged in growing in relationship with God, and in serving their neighbors. We want to show Jesus to people through both the things we say and the things we do.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How we work this Mission:

Preaching the Word: Biblically sound and relevant sermons, spirit-filled worship, and opportunities to receive Christ are at the core of the Sunday morning gathering.

Connection: Relationships with other believers is the primary means by which we are discipled. Discipleship cannot happen at a distance – come in and get plugged in!

Outreach: We believe in serving our community, whether they come into the doors of the church or not. We want to reflect Christ to the world in both word and in deed.
