At Riverside we believe in serving God in our lives inside and outside the Church.

We believe in a Church run not just by one person or a small group of leaders but in a Church family where each person uses their gifts and talents to achieve the vision for which God has called us collectively and individually.

This belief is centred on 2 reasons. Firstly, we find that the next step after becoming a Christian and understanding your faith is when we begin to serve someone who is not ourself (see Galatians 5:13 and Romans 12:4-5). Secondly, we believe that each person has a unique calling to serve God. This calling is not a means of earning our salvation as that has been done by Jesus Christ! But it is an outward expression of our love for God (2 Peter 1:10-11) and part of the privilege we have as God’s sons and daughters.

Anyone is welcome to get involved in serving at Riverside Church. Whatever your gifts and interests, there is a team you can join. Think and ask God about where you are called to serve.
