Ministries
Welcome to Riverside Students
Biblical. Baptist. Building Faith and Friendships.
Who We Are
Riverside Students is a dynamic ministry for 6th to 12th graders, rooted in Biblical teachings and Baptist values. We believe in partnering with parents to help students grow in their faith while building meaningful friendships. Whether through worship, fellowship, or fun activities, we're here to support students as they journey through this important season of life.
Where Faith and Fun Collide

Students gather for Bible study. These small groups offer a space for students to explore their faith, ask questions, and grow spiritually alongside their peers. With caring leaders to guide the way, it's the perfect setting to deepen your relationship with Christ.
