Children's Ministry
Our Mission & Vision
At Riverside we believe in ministry to the whole family.
We understand that children are important, and that it is important to parents that their children have a safe, fun environment in which they can learn and grow. We strive to provide that, and have many dedicated volunteers who give of their time and talents. For the protection of our children we require all children to be checked in and out by their parents.
The check-in station is located at the Kidzone Entrance. Check-in begins approximately 30 minutes before each group begins.
Age groups and times
Nursery (0-2 years old)
The nursery is available during Sunday service, and at other times as well.

Children are dismissed from the sanctuary every Sunday morning during the 10:45am service for their own time of learning, snacks, crafts, and games. Older elementary kids are given a special bulletin with games and activities that usually follows the same theme as the pastor’s message.
