The Missions team is dedicated to facilitating the outreach of Riverside, starting in the local community and reaching out across the world. We generally meet right after church on the third Sunday of every month, but our schedule can change, so sign up for the email list to stay up-to-date with the latest happenings. It is currently led by Everette Mills.

2012 Summer Mission Trip
Friday, October 21st, 2011Riverside is going to San Raimundo, Guatemala to build a home from June 3-9, 2012. We want you to go! Riverside has partnered with Casas por Cristo to build an 18’ by 22’ home with three interior rooms and one exterior room. 77% of Guatemalans live in poverty and many of the families we will serve live off of less than $10 a week. The house we build will not only meet a family's immediate needs, but will become an evangelistic tool for Guatemalan pastors who are sharing the Gospel in San Raimundo. No prior building experience is necessary to change a family's life forever. We would like you to consider attending a Riverside Guatemala Trip Information Session following the worship services at 12pm on Sunday, November 20. Lunch and childcare will be provided.
