Find Community in Central Park
Why community is important and why we hope you'll join it and get involved here.
During service your kids will be in our Kids area where they will participate in play bible story time crafts and more. Through meaningful lessons, activities, and worship experiences, our hope is they will learn about Jesus and make friends. Each week, your children will walk through the Bible and see God’s amazing love toward them. We believe every child can understand something about the Gospel.
Serving is part of how we go ALL IN! It just happens to also be a ton of fun! Whether it's serving the needs of our community, serving the Western US, taking trips around the world to make Jesus known, or even to make our Sunday experiences happen, we want you to experience the joy of God using you to make a difference in someone else’s life on a continual basis.

Location Pastor
Hey there!
I'm Adam, and I want to personally invite you to Riverside Central Park.
One of the things I love most about Central Park is the incredible sense of community. It's a neighborhood built around connection. Neighbors gathering in parks, families enjoying local events, and people doing life together. We believe the church should be at the heart of that, which is why we're committed to being a church not just in Central Park, but for Central Park.
Our mission is to lead people to live the Jesus life, and we believe that journey is always better together.
Whether you're new to faith, have been following Jesus for years, or you're simply curious and exploring what you believe, there's a place for you here. We want Riverside to be a place where you can ask questions, build authentic relationships, and take your next step with Jesus.
If you have kids, they're going to love Riverside Central Park too! We care deeply about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can build friendships, learn about Jesus, and look forward to coming to church every week. We also love helping families find lasting community and friendships that extend far beyond Sunday mornings.
No matter your story or where you are on your spiritual journey, we'd be honored to walk alongside you as you discover what it means to live the Jesus life.
We'd love to welcome you to the family!

Riverside exists to lead people to live the Jesus life. Every week, you will find passionate and authentic worship, gospel-centered preaching, and a vibrant kids ministry. Whether you’ve been around church all of your life or this is your first time stepping foot in a church, you’ll feel welcomed, encouraged, and equipped for your journey.
At Riverside, you will hear music at each and every gathering that is based on God’s Word and focused on God’s character. Our goal is that each and every person present at our worship services would leave with a sense of awe and wonder at the presence of God that draws to worship and reflect on all that Jesus has done for us. We sing meaningful songs with a modern worship style.
At Riverside, you will find our preaching expository in nature and gospel-centered in content, as well as application focused. We focus on simply exposing what the Bible says in each passage while keeping in mind that all passages connect to the overarching story of the whole Bible. In light of this, we want everyone to walk away with practical steps to move forward in their journey with Jesus. The gospel is always the point, and Jesus is always the hero of the message.

Services last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. We start by singing a few songs, then one of our pastors, usually our Location Pastor Adam Pelham, will deliver a message. If you want a preview of the type of messages we hear on an average Sunday, check out our current series.
