Church Council

The Riverside Council oversees the activities of the church, the spiritual welfare of its members and provides assistance where needed. They meet once a month and council consists of six elders and four deacons. Elders by way of annual family visits connect with each member of the congregation. Deacons set up the offering schedule and are there to help all those in need.
