OUR Mission

Riverside’s mission is to embody the promise of God’s extravagant love. Loving God and loving our neighbors is at the heart of our mission. We seek to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. We stand for the poor, oppressed, marginalized, and those who have been disenfranchised by the church, the community, and the world.
