OUR WHY
Everyone has purpose, anyone can serve, and we're all expected to grow.

FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE
Psalms 1:2-3 NLT
“But they that delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.”

VISION STATEMENT
Encouraging our community to fulfill the vision and call God has given them by continuous growth and development for a Christ-centered life.

MISSION STATEMENT
Reaching the world for Jesus Christ by demonstrating the Word with the power and flow of the Holy Spirit. Building the Kingdom of God through Covenant Relationships.

Programs and activities of Riverside Community Church are based upon the following beliefs:

1. The Bible is the mind of Christ and is the inspired, the only infallible and authoritative Word of God
2. There is one God manifested in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
3. The reality of Satan and his present control over unregenerate man does exist
4. Christianity is based upon the following:
   • The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and His virgin birth
   • His sinless life
   • His miracles
   • His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood
   • His bodily resurrection
   • His ascension to the right hand of the Father
   • His personal return in power and glory as Lord of Lords and King of Kings
   • The fall of man and his lost estate, which makes necessary a rebirth through confession and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ
   • The reconciliation of man to God by the substitutionary death and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
   • The resurrection of believers unto everlasting life and blessing in Heaven, and the resurrection of unbelievers unto everlasting punishment in the torments of Hell
   • The present supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit, who bestows the spiritual gifts of: the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, various kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues in and among believers on the earth since the day of Pentecost and continuing until our Lord's return
