Cord Groups are groups of 2-4 people committing to walk together for a year of intentional discipleship. These smaller circles create space for deeper relationships, honest conversation, and steady growth in Christ—because we were never meant to follow Jesus alone.

Shop and Shine is a one-day event supporting Edgewood students and their siblings with free shopping, pampering, and encouragement for the school year ahead. You can help by donating clothing and shoes (infant–adult medium), sorting donations, or serving as a greeter, assistant, or helper on the day of the event.

Our mission here at Riverside is to make and send disciples who love and live like Jesus. If you want to learn how to do this and what this means, come check out Base Camp. During this two day experience, we will journey through what Jesus walked out with his 12 disciples and what that means for us today. This 2 day, 16 hour training builds on itself so attending the full training is necessary. The next session is June 20 & 21, 2025 and space is limited, so register now!

Join us for The Complete Women’s Conference on June 28—a one-day experience designed to nourish your heart, mind, and body as we pursue wholeness in Christ together. Through honest conversations, powerful teaching, and worship, we’ll explore what it means to live whole and holy lives in the midst of real struggles. Come be encouraged, equipped, and reminded that in Christ, you are complete.

Get ready to bring the fun to Sunday! Each week during Sundays of Summer, we’ll have a new themed dress-up challenge—think tropical, throwback, or team spirit—and we’re giving out prizes for the best dressed! It’s a lighthearted way to connect, celebrate the season, and enjoy church with a little extra flair. Come for the worship, stay for the laughs!

One of the ways we love like Jesus is by showing up for the needs of others in our community. Every three months, we host a Blood Drive in partnership with Lee Health to help save lives right here in Southwest Florida. Giving blood is a simple but powerful act of generosity—and it makes a real difference. Our next Blood Drive is Sunday, August 17 from 9:00am–12:00pm. Spots are limited, so sign up today and be a part of something life-giving.

Step into the shoes of someone living in poverty during this powerful Poverty Simulation hosted by the Imagine Initiative. This immersive experience offers a glimpse into the daily challenges faced by individuals and families struggling to make ends meet. Participants will navigate real-life scenarios, from housing and employment to transportation and food insecurity. It’s an eye-opening opportunity to grow in empathy, understanding, and action.

Beyond the Walls is more than a campaign—it’s a vision to expand Riverside’s impact for generations to come. At beyondthewalls.info, you’ll find stories of lives changed, details on how this project will transform our church, and opportunities to partner with us. Whether through prayer, service, or giving, you have a role in making this vision a reality!
