What kind of security measures are in place in for the kids?

At Riverside Church your child’s safety is of utmost importance to us.  All of our volunteers are trained, screened, and undergo a background check. We also have a check-in/check-out policy and procedure, see below.

Preschool

Parent/guardians will receive a Kamp Tag upon signing your child into Kamp Big Enough on this tag will appear on the large screen in the sanctuary if a parent’s presence is needed in the preschool.) ONLY persons presenting this tag, matching the child’s sign-in number, will be able to pick up the child.

Elementary

In Hang10 when you check in at your child’s room, your child will be given a name badge with a number on it.  You will be given a card with the matching number.  The child will only be released to an adult showing the card with the child’s matching number.


What are your adult services like?

Our Sunday morning adult worship services are designed to engage you at every level with thought-provoking multimedia and God’s Word is taught in a way that you can understand and apply to your everyday life.  


What can I expect on my first visit?

You can expect somebody to welcome you at the door and to get a good cup of coffee.  We want you to feel safe in knowing that we will not embarrass you, single you out or ask you to do something that you don’t want to do.  You can expect to hear a relevant message that will help you connect with God.


How should I dress?

Come just as you are.   Some will dress in Khaki’s and dress shirt, or jeans, shorts and a t-shirt. No need for a suit and tie.  We care about you, not how you are dressed.


What are Life Groups?

A LifeGroup is a smaller group of people within our church who meet regularly to establish a sense of community and to live out the reality of the Christian life on a day-to-day basis.  The mission of LifeGroups is to grow Christ-centered communities through loving relationships.


Who do I speak to if I have questions about Christianity, the Bible or God?

Starting Point is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Starting Point groups are a safe place for people with questions about faith as well as those who want to learn about the Bible and Christianity. Groups meet for about 10 weeks and together explore the grand story of the Bible. One of the goals of Starting Point is to help participants find their places in the story.


Who oversees the finances of the church?

The Financial Management Team which consists of 2-3 elders and 1 lay member.  This team is responsible for the operational accountability of the budget of Riverside Church.


What is the Leadership Structure of Riverside Church?

We are Elder governed, staff led.  This means that the Elders provide the spiritual guardrails for the church and have entrusted the pastors and staff to lead the day-to-day operations of the church. We believe this structure empowers ministries, provides accountability, and is God honoring.
