Riverside is too big for everyone to know each other on a Sunday morning. That's the whole point of this page. Whatever you're carrying or curious about, there's probably already a small room of people doing it together. Browse below, or just text us and we'll point you somewhere.

Going deeper

Baptism & membership.

Two of the most ordinary, most beautiful things a person can do in this place. Here's exactly how each one works. No surprises.

Step one

Have coffee with a pastor

30 minutes. We just want to hear your story and answer your questions. No pressure to do anything next.

Step two

Come to the class

One Sunday afternoon, 90 minutes, free lunch. We walk through who we are, what we believe, and what membership actually means.

Step three

Pick a Sunday

Baptism Sundays happen four times a year. Membership is just a hand-raise at the end of a service. No oath, no robes.

Step four

Get plugged in

We'll connect you with a life group, a way to serve, and a couple of folks who'll text you when you don't show up for a while.

Community programs open to anyone

You don't have to come to church here to use any of this. Walk in, no questions.

Food pantry volunteers

Food Pantry

Tue 4 – 7 pm · Sat 9 am – 12 pm

Open to anyone in the 29605 or 29611 zip codes. Fresh produce from Mill Village Farms, pantry staples, and a small selection of household basics. No ID required, no questions asked. Drive up around back.

Adult and child reading together

After-school Tutoring

Mon · Wed · Thu · 3 – 5 pm

Free reading and math help for K–5 students at Sterling Elementary, run out of our community room. Volunteer tutors trained each fall. Snack provided. Sign up at sterlingtutoring.org.

Support group conversation

Recovery Meetings

Thursdays · 7 – 8:30 pm

Open meeting using a 12-step framework. For addiction, grief, codependency, or whatever's making this season hard. Confidential. Childcare provided. Come on time or walk in late. Both are fine.

Community garden

Community Garden

Saturdays · 9 am – noon (Mar – Oct)

Two plots near Cleveland Park. Volunteers grow produce that goes straight to the food pantry. Bring gloves; we'll teach you the rest. Kids welcome with a parent.

People studying together

ESL Classes

Tuesdays · 6 – 8 pm

Two levels (beginner and intermediate). Free. Run with our partners at Pleasant Valley Connection. Childcare available with a week's notice.

Senior adults chatting and laughing

Senior Lunch

2nd Wed of each month · 11:30 am

A free hot lunch and a 20-minute program for anyone 60+ in the neighborhood. Bingo half the time. Live music the other half. Bring a friend.

Not sure where to start?

Just text us. We'll figure it out together.

Tell us what season you're in. New in town, lonely, raising kids, grieving, curious. And we'll point you to the corner of this place that's most likely to fit.

About this design template
