Riverside Church

We are a church of almost 200 members with a mix of ages and backgrounds. We gather as a whole congregation and in smaller groups in order to be equipped to live out our faith as a scattered community in our various contexts throughout the week. We exist to see the kingdom of Jesus transform the communities in which we live, work, play and worship.

The church building is located near the town centre and is also adjacent to a housing area recognised as suffering from multiple deprivation. We are committed to working with our neighbours and various local agencies to make a positive difference to people’s lives. Some of this work is undertaken by a charity established by the church: Riverside Community Trust.

Our mission is to be 'Growing followers of Jesus', and our vision is 'to be an intentional community of grace by worshipping, praying, caring, sharing Jesus, and going deeper with God'.
