Welcome to Riverwood Church
Come as you are

You’re Invited!

Our 9:30 am Sunday Worship Gatherings at our building are open to everyone. (Elementary-aged kids and younger are invited to attend the fun, age-focused, Jesus-centered environment of Kids Creek.) Deep biblical knowledge is not a requirement to come! Even if you aren’t a Christian, but are curious about Jesus, you are more than welcome to join us. (In fact, we started Riverwood for you!)

If you can’t join us in-person, we have a simple livestream every Sunday. Feel free to join us there!

Before you come

What to Expect

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. (In case you are wondering, our leaders usually wear jeans.) And when you come, we promise not to embarrass you by making you stand and introduce yourself to everyone.

Also, bring a Bible. If you don’t have one, download one to your phone, or ask us to give you your very own paper copy of the Scriptures. It will be our gift to you!

Our 65–70 minute Worship Gatherings vary from week to week, but most Gatherings…
We start by singing a couple of songs to Jesus.
A sermon based on a passage of the Bible will get you thinking about how the gospel impacts everyday life — we tend to study books of the Bible verse by verse.
We celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus through communion.
We include times of prayer and reflection.
We conclude with a song or two.
Then we invite you to join us in the lobby at our Café for coffee, snacks, and meeting people.
Before & after the gathering

Our Café

Every Sunday, we provide coffee, tea, and goodies for the whole family. If a treat is gluten or nut free, we indicate it. Also, you are more than welcome to bring a coffee with you.

We look forward to meeting you when you come!

For families

Kids Creek

If you have children, plan to come about 10 minutes early to get them checked in. (You will notice the Kids Creek Check-in table to your left once inside the main doors.) We use Planning Center Check-Ins to sign in each child and get a printed name tag.
