RIVERSIDE CHURCH

We'd love for you to come check out Riverside Church. We gather for worship in The Beacon gym every Sunday morning at 10:30am. We love our unique partnership with The Beacon—it’s incredibly important to us that the place we call home rarely sits empty, being used seven days a week to bless this community. You’re likely to find Riverside staff members gathered and working in The Brickyard during the week.


Riverside Church's mission and our heart’s desire is to help people Know Jesus intimately, Be transformed by the Spirit, and Do mission with God…Together.
