How We Do Church


We're glad you're here!

The roots of Riverside Church extend all the way back to the early 1930's when a C&MA pastor came to the area with a dream to plant a church and reach people for Jesus. From the founding families of that time, to the church family we celebrate today, Riverside began as, and continues to be, a place where searching and hurting people discover there is a God who loves them and can change their life.

Every week people are impacted by that truth - families are being strengthened, relationships are being restored, and transformation takes place as each of us live out Riverside's core values of Experiencing Grace, Growing in Love, and Giving of Ourselves.

It's all about relationship; most importantly with Christ, but also in community with others. We are passionate about three key ideas: providing teaching, music and environments which are REAL and RELEVANT to our people and our culture, helping people experience LIFE CHANGE, and giving people the opportunity to take OWNERSHIP of their faith.

If you're just getting to know us, or you've been here awhile and are ready to take your next step to get involved, you're part of something significant. This is an exciting time in your life and in the life of this church.

Because of Jesus,

Pastor Tom Lundeen
