We support the work of God’s Church around the world
Riverside has a long history of supporting the wider work of the church through the United Church of Canada’s Mission and Service Fund as well as through specific projects, including refugee sponsorship, education and advocacy.
Partnership with Providence Methodist Church, Jamaica
This partnership has been in place for several years. An annual Jamaica Night in October raises funds for a Nursing Outreach Program and for a Basic School in Gordon Town, Jamaica.

Amnesty International
We, at Riverside United, are part of Amnesty International’s Urgent Action Network.
The Amnesty writing group writes to governments on behalf of people whose human rights are being abused.
We hold an Annual Write-for-Rights campaign on the Saturday closest to December 10, Human Rights Day.
Amnesty believes that we have a positive influence in about 1/3 of the cases – which makes a difference to those people.
