Welcome to Riverside Park
A Fun Place for Kids to Grow, Learn, and Connect in Faith!
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.
“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

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.
