There are many ways to take a small relational step (even for introverts).

Take a small step on Sunday Morning

  • A Quiet Minute

    Sometimes you need Sunday morning to help you breathe, quiet your heart, grieve, or just be still for a moment.

  • The Talkative Ten

    Sometimes you need Sunday morning to help you feel the warmth and joy of belonging to a community.

  • Newcomer Lunch

    Sometimes it’s just nice to sit down, eat, drink, laugh, cry, and risk. Sometime’s it’s nice to just be.

Join a House Group

House Groups form the Heartbeat of the Riverside Community. Our House Groups are not Bible studies but our purpose of gathering together is to practice love for neighbor by opening our homes, offering the resources of friendship and by learning how to love those with whom we differ. We first offer House Group Connect which allows three to four weeks to check out the times, location, and fit. The House Group itself then begins a two-year commitment of living room and community life , learning the practices of friendship and hospitality, and offering the welcome of Jesus to one another's real-life situations.
