MISSION PARTNERS

Riverside Church Has two models of missions, one locally and one globally.

Locally: Because we feel our church is best represented in our smaller communities called home groups, we express our support for local missions through each of our home groups. Each group is encouraged to actively serve together in the community. Some examples of these partnerships include different home groups working with the Red Cross to resettle refugees in our area, partnering with local youth organizations (like Sonny Villa), working with single moms through partnering with Bridges of Hope and Hope Mission, local park beautification, etc.

Globally: We feel that God has given Riverside a neat vision and mandate to start new churches as well as help address the global orphan and poverty situation. Riverside Church puts 15% of every dollar aside for our mission programming, partnerships, and future church plants (we hope to increase that percentage as the years go by).

Riverside has chosen to go real deep with one global partner at this time. Our global partner is ASHA Mission, an orphanage in Delhi, India. We are the main sponsor of this orphanage, which currently houses and cares for 31 orphans.
