Welcome to Riverside Park
A Fun Place for Kids to Grow, Learn, and Connect in Faith!
"Train up a child in the way he should go;
and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6 KJV)
WHO WE ARE
At Riverside Park Children’s Ministry, we believe that faith can be fun—no matter the age!
From babies to 5th grade, we provide a safe and nurturing environment where every child can explore their faith, build friendships, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s learning about God, enjoying games, or participating in special events, this is a place where kids grow in a loving, Christ-centered community—because there’s a place for everyone here.
Friday Night Fun & Faith
Every Friday at 7 PM, our Children in Action group meets in The Dock for an evening filled with games, crafts, music, and engaging Bible lessons—all with a mission-focused purpose. Kids not only have a blast but also get introduced to the importance of missions, learning how they can make a difference in their community and beyond. Whether they’re regular attendees or first-timers, all are welcome to join the fun and discover how faith and service go hand in hand. This program is designed for kids aged 5 through 5th grade.
Sunday Mornings Just for Kids
At 9:30 AM, children join Connect Groups with kids their age. Led by caring leaders, they explore Bible lessons through fun and interactive activities. It’s a wonderful time to learn, make friends, and grow in faith.
Afterward, kids from 1st through 5th grade gather for Children’s Worship at the DOCK, where they sing, learn, and worship God in an engaging way. It’s the perfect start to their week, filled with joy and friendship. Extended Care and Worship for infants through
kindergarten are provided in their age-appropriate classrooms.
A Week of Summer Fun at VBS!
Every summer, our Vacation Bible School transforms Riverside into a vibrant place of learning and fun. For one exciting week, kids (ages 4 through completed Grade 6) experience themed Bible adventures, songs, crafts, games, and worship. It’s the highlight of our summer calendar and a chance for kids to build lasting friendships while growing in their faith.
Faith, Friendship, and Fun—Captured Moments
Celebrating the Seasons
Throughout the year, our children have the chance to shine in special performances for holidays like Christmas and Easter. These events not only allow kids to express their creativity but also deepen their understanding of God’s love. From singing to skits, each performance is a celebration of faith and joy.
Growing in Faith Beyond Elementary
As kids graduate from Riverside Park, they move on to our Riverside Students Ministry, where they continue to grow in their faith journey. It’s amazing to watch these young ones blossom from kindergarteners into confident young leaders, all within the supportive community of Riverside.
Join the Fun—Volunteer or Get Involved!
Do you love working with kids or want to support their faith journey? Riverside Park Children’s Ministry welcomes parents to volunteer during special events throughout the year. It’s a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact, support our children’s faith journeys, and be part of unforgettable moments.
