Our History
Riverside Covenant Church began meeting in 2000 as a church plant of Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) in Lafayette, Indiana.
Riverside did not have a permanent gathering place for our first five years of existence, but instead gathered for its first three years at the University Inn and Conference Center in West Lafayette and then spent two years gathering at Burnett Creek Elementary School. In April of 2006, by God’s grace and provision, we purchased an existing church building in the heart of West Lafayette and only a mile from Purdue University.
Riverside now gathers at 1850 Woodland Avenue (near the corner of Salisbury and Lindberg) in West Lafayette, Indiana. Our Sunday worship gatherings are at 9am and 10:45am. Each worship service is identical. You can learn more about what to expect on Sundays here.
