We assume because you're here that you might curious about what kind of church we are. So here are some answers to a few of your basic questions:

What are your services like?

Fun, real and lively, just like hanging out with a couple hundred of your favorite friends! We have great music and the message is more friendly conversation than 'preachy'. You'll especially love the part where we dance around with chicken heads on sticks! (That's a joke.) A typical service includes about 30 minutes of music and a 30 minute message. Get a feel for what our services are like by viewing the streaming video link or download a podcast version of a recent message.

When do I come?

Check here for directions and service times.

What should I wear?

Clothes! Seriously - wear what makes you comfortable - jeans, t-shirts, shorts. No supermodels attend Riverside, so unless you're a fashionista we won't try to impress you with our designer looks. What you wear isn't as important to us as helping you connect with God.

How do I get to Riverside Church?

Our Main Auditorium and Summit youth facilities are located at 1014 Riverside Rd. at the intersection of Mitchell and Riverside Road in Saint Joseph. Click here for a map and turn-by-turn directions. Senior and handicapped parking is provided.

What about my children?

We love 'em! Kids have a blast at Riverside with fun and interactive programs for nursery age (under 3 years), preschool (ages 3-5 years) and elementary grades (1-5). We make sure your children are safe and well cared for while they're with us. Check out the ARC (Kids!) section on this website for more details. The older dudes and dudettes (Jr. High and High School) hang with us on Sunday mornings and then rock out on Sunday and Wednesday nights at EPIC in the Loft. Check out the Riverside Youth webpage to see what REALLY happens when the adults aren't around!


Be sure to visit our Resource Center for a great selection of CD's, DVD's, books and more. Free coffee and donuts are always available before Sunday morning service. And the Oasis CoffeeHouse will satisfy the coffee connoisseur with a variety of gourmet coffees and smoothies. Free WiFi internet service is available campus-wide.

Sound good?

Let us know if we can answer any more questions for you. Feel free to call our offices directly Monday through Thursday from 8 am to 5 pm. And when you do come check us out in person, be sure to hang around after service to get your free Riverside travel mug and meet some of our staff. We'd love to get to know you!

We hope to see you soon at Riverside!
