Ministries & programs
Praise Team
A mixed group that loves to sing and lead the congregation every Sunday morning in gathering songs. They form an integral part of our worship — not only leading our singing but also teaching new songs.
GEMS
Through lessons the girls learn to apply the Bible to life. They also take part in team building and develop skills through badge work and creative, fun crafts.
Cadets
Leaders share the joy and wisdom of Christlike living with boys through Bible study, crafts, projects, games and merit badge awards.
Youth Group and Catechism (YAC)
Youth group and catechism combined: time for catechism instruction and fun each evening, plus service projects through the year such as a community food drive for Open Arms Missions.
Coffee Break
A weekly program bringing the women of our church and the community, young and old, together to study and discuss God's Word.
Vacation Bible School
A much-loved summer program for many years: community children are invited to learn more about God's love and grace through all kinds of activities.
Community Outreach
Encourages everyone at Riverside to be involved: Vacation Bible School, Coffee Break, Fair Ministry and the Children's Activity Hour in Chippewa Park — plus a Community Christmas service and an Evangelism Week in the fall.
Worship Committee
Plans the special services through the Christian year and finds volunteers to help with them, beginning each meeting with a study of worship.
Visual Arts Committee
Creates the banners and decorations that enhance our worship each Sunday and for the special services of the Christian year.
Church Council
Six elders and four deacons oversee the life of the church, the spiritual welfare of its members, and help wherever it's needed. Elders visit each family every year; deacons arrange the offerings and care for those in need.
Safe Church Committee
Keeps our children, youth and vulnerable people safe: police checks, a code of ethics and an abuse prevention policy for every volunteer. More about Safe Church
