Riverside Global


The mission of Jesus is unmistakably clear: "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations..." We know that Jesus wants His church to share His love with people next door, and also those on every continent, from all ethnicities and language groups. At Riverside this passion is lived out through our relationships with Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA) partners in West Africa, Germany and Mexico. We also support the C&MA's Great Commission Fund which enables over 700+ international workers in 70 countries to assist local churches to start new churches and help people become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
