Why Serve
The lifeblood of any organization is the involvement of its members. Riverside Presbyterian is no exception! Our members serve in a variety of ways. Some serve in elected leadership, either on Session or on the Deaconate. Others serve on Commissions or volunteer their time during and after worship. Finding a place to utilize your time and talents are endless!
We would love to have you help fulfill the mission of our church and spread God's love
through serving our church body and our community.
​
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms...so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ."
1 Peter 4:10-11
