Myself and my friend really enjoyed the women’s conference held at the church on 02/21/25. It was $5 to attend but worth well more than that. It was amazing. There was food, drinks, a great word, and awesome praise and worship. There was a lack of diversity that was the only thing that I didn’t like. Overall it was amazing and everyone was friendly.

Loving God, loving people was obvious to me the first time I attended a service at Riverside Church almost 11 years ago. I felt welcomed and loved then and now. If you're looking for a church that preaches the true gospel and has a great time of contemporary worship and praise, then visit Riverside Church!

I've been going to Riverside for years but became a member only 2 yrs ago. Its a mixed congregation. Everyone is nice. Pastor Joe is the best I've had in my entire life. Hes so sweet pleasant & no matter what you need to talk to him about he listens & understands. Hes down to earth & explains the Bible to where i understand

My family has been going to Riverside for many years now and we love the worship music and the preaching. The people at Riverside are God loving genuine people who care for each other. Come as you are and grow in your walk with Jesus.

Love our church family. The Lord is working in many ways through the loving folks at Riverside. If you want a church that preaches the Truth, you should come be a part of Riverside.

Very disappointed in this church. My 95 year old old mother attended the church for 2 1/2 years and gave all of her tithe to them. When it came time for her memorial service, we were not allowed to have it there because "she was not a member". This added additional pain for my family in our time of loss. What an unchristian attitude for the leadership of this church!
