Entry Points
New to Riverside or want to connect more with other Riverside people? We have
three primary "entry points" designed to make connecting easier for you. For
more info on these entry points, click here.
House Groups
The purpose of
House Groups at Riverside is to
experience the Gospel in
an intimate setting through worship, Bible study, friendship-building, prayer
and service. House Groups are basic, more intimate Christian communities.
At Riverside, we believe that discipleship, evangelism and mutual encouragement
are best carried out in a smaller group context. House Groups are
gatherings of about 12 people meeting in homes, apartments, and restaurants
throughout the Webster and St. Louis area during the week. Being part of a
House Group will enable you to know God and experience His presence, develop
meaningful friendships, be nurtured in your faith, and be equipped and released
for God's work in the world. Groups are open to all ages
(intergenerational)-families, singles, and couples. There are also men's
and women's groups available.
Gospel U.
Gospel U. is Riverside’s
foundational
adult spiritual formation course. The purpose of Gospel U.
is to take adults “further up and further in” to a whole life that
is saturated by this thing Christians call the Gospel. Subjects that are
explored in a well-planned, interactive setting, include bringing the Gospel
from the head to the heart, the good questions skeptics ask, essential Christian
doctrine, bringing the Gospel into relationships, and healing from the wounds
and distortions of sin by “preaching the Gospel to yourself every day.” For more
info on Gospel U. and how you can get involved, email phil@riversidestl.org.
On Tap
On Tap is a monthly conversation in culture. Grab a soda or a brew and bring
your perspective. All views welcome. For more info about
On Tap (date, time,

Parties
One of the unique and exciting
things about our church is its sense of community. Our people love being
together just to enjoy friendships, laugh, and play! And we love to use
these light-hearted venues as opportunities to welcome new people into the life
of our church family. For this reason we have regular church-wide "fun
events" - Super Bowl parties, sports
outings, retreats, holiday parties, etc. In addition there are always
special events going on for men to enjoy together with each other (retreats, ski trips, pickup basketball, softball teams, etc.) and also for the
gals (movie nights, retreats, etc.).
"And
they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the
breaking of bread and prayer...and all who believed were together and had all
things in common." (Acts 4:42-44)
