We grow as Christians as we hear God’s Word and learn to live it out together. Bible study, prayer, friendship, and service are all important parts of that life. Whether you are new to Riverside or have been coming for a while, we would be glad to help you get connected.
Our Bible study is an opportunity to open the Scriptures together, ask questions, and encourage one another to follow Jesus. You do not need to know all the answers to take part.
There are two Bible studies each meeting on Thursday evening. One at 6:30pm in Coldwater and one at 7:00pm in Victoria Harbour.
The life of the church involves the gifts and service of the whole congregation. If you would like to help, we would be glad to talk about where you could serve and what preparation may be needed.
Helping children know and love Jesus
Children are an important part of our church family. We want to support parents as they teach their children God’s Word and help them grow in their knowledge of Jesus.
Riverside currently offers children’s ministry for ages 0–6.
When you arrive, stop by the check-in station near the front doors, where a volunteer will be happy to help you check in your children. Each child will receive a name tag, and you will receive a matching security tag. Children will be dismissed to their program downstairs before the sermon. After the service, please bring your security tag when you pick up your children.
If you would like to know more before you visit, please get in touch.
If your child is asking questions about baptism, we would be glad to talk with you. Cornerstone also provides a resource to help parents discuss faith and baptism with their children.
