Are You Visiting for the First Time?
Visiting a church for the very first time can be a tough experience. Where should I go? What should I wear? What time should I show up? What’s here for my kids? What can I expect? These and many more questions surface. We’d like to put you at ease. Your first visit to Riverside Baptist Church will be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience inspiring music, helpful teaching and preaching, friendly people, and a place where you feel welcome and “at home”! This is a place where you can experience new beginnings. Here are a few answers to your questions and what you might expect on your first visit.
What’s Available for my Children?
Starting with an excellent nursery, there is something special for every child from birth through sixth grade! On Sunday morning there is safe, clean, and well-staffed nursery care for those two years of age and younger. If you are the mother of an infant, you will receive a notification so that the nursery attendants can easily contact you if there is a need. For children three years old through third grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child.
How Should I Dress?
There is not a dress code at Riverside Baptist for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at Riverside Baptist. We encourage you to come dressed to worship the Lord.
What are the Services Like?
On Sunday mornings, you can participate in encouraging and uplifting music, as well as enjoy inspiring music from soloists and special groups. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Townsley. Each service is just a little over one hour in length. We also have a Sunday evening service that begins at 6:00 PM. Again, in this service you’ll enjoy the special music as well as a challenging and helpful message from Pastor Townsley. We also meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM for a Bible study. We would enjoy having you come and visit us during any of the service times.
