Riverside is a thirteen-year-old church plant just north of San Antonio. Throughout our time together, we have witnessed God moving in amazing ways as we trust Him to write our story. We are a church that loves our community, our neighbors across the street and across the globe, our families and our staff. We are in an exciting season of transition and growth and value holistically engaging the family unit. Our staff is awesome! We share life together, encourage one another, and take the call of Jesus seriously all while often laughing at ourselves. Riverside is located in one of the fastest growing counties in the nation, yet belonging to community remains a struggle for many in our area. Riverside is a body that is serious about responding to this growth in our area with a desire to transform lives through the love and hope which we know Christ to provide.
