Hi, my name is Jana and I serve as the Connections & Guest Services Assistant here at Riverside.

My family and I have been attending Church here since 2015. I’m passionate about helping people feel seen, welcomed, and connected from the moment they arrive.

I’ve lived overseas and have a deep love for connecting with people from all over the world. I’m a true people person and genuinely enjoy hearing others’ stories—because every story matters. In fact,“Your story matters” isn’t just a tagline at Riverside; it’s woven into every fiber of who we are, and it aligns perfectly with my philosophy and who I am deep at my core.

Outside of work, I’m a mom to three amazing elementary aged kids and our family includes two dogs, 10 mature hens, and 7 adorable new chicks we welcomed this spring. Someday, I’d love to add goats to our little homestead adventure!

I’m excited to see how God will use my gifts, talents, and abilities to further His mission—helping lost people become found and reminding everyone that their story truly matters. It’s an honor to be here.
