Riverside Chapel Seventh-day Adventist Church

Our web site is an extension of our church, and we pray that it will be a blessing to you. It is our desire that everyone accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and experience His love, joy, peace, and forgiveness. We trust that our church and Web site have an atmosphere where you can experience the hope, healing, and joy that comes from God.

We'd love for you to visit us this Saturday for Bible study and/or our worship service. Click here to get directions and information about our church services.
