Their vision is for Riverside Assembly to be:
A church where all people will be and feel welcome.
A church that loves and lives like Jesus.
A church that looks outside of itself, at how it can serve not only the surrounding community, but the nation.
A church that is strong in discipleship, meeting the needs of all who have a desire to learn and grow in Christ.
