Statement of Faith

The mission of Riverside Community Church is to go and make fully devoted Christ-followers who live out God’s amazing grace among family, friends, neighbors and the world.

  1. The Bible, the Old and New Testaments, is uniquely God-inspired and completely truthful and trustworthy. It is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life, and accurate in all that it affirms.
    II Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:19-21
  2. There is one God, Creator of all things, Who alone is to be worshiped. God is infinite, perfect and eternally self-existent as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
    Gen. 1:1; 1 Cor. 8:6; Deut. 6:4; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matt. 18:19; John 17:3, 20-22; Eph. 4:5; 1 Thes. 4:8
  3. The Father is holy, almighty, loving, the source of all goodness and truth, and it is He who determined to gather a people for Himself.
    James 1:17, 18; John 17:11; 1 Pet. 2:9-10
  4. Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead on the third day, and is coming again according to the Scriptures.
    Matthew 1:18; John 1:1-3; I Corinthians 15:3, 4; Hebrews 1:3, Hebrews 9:24; I John 5:20
  5. The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ. The Holy Spirit, Who every believer receives upon becoming a Christ-follower, guides, empowers, and convicts of sin.
    John 14:17; John 14:26; John 16:7-11; Acts 2:38; 1 Cor. 1:22
  6. We are created in God’s image, but are alienated from God because of sin and now live in a sin-damaged world. Through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins, God restores His relationship with all who follow Him.
    Rom. 3:23; Rom. 6:23; Heb. 9:14, 22; Ephesians 2:8-9; Luke 9:23; Matt. 4:19
  7. When Christ returns, the dead will be raised bodily, believers to eternal life with the Lord and unbelievers to final judgment.
    1 Cor. 15:12-13; John 5:28-29
  8. We believe in the unity and common priesthood of all true believers, who together form one universal Church, the Body of which Christ is the Head.
    1 Pet. 2:9-10; Col. 1:24; 1 Cor. 12:12-20
