Children and Youth
Children’s Worship is held during Sunday services for children from 4 years of age and older. Youth are welcome to join in the multi-age programing and hone their leadership skills by helping create programming, and help littles with crafts, experiments and activities. Parents are always welcome to participate.
We all start in the main room and after welcoming and song, children and youth go out together to room 5 or just outside on church property (weather dependent). Through building skills and listening to each other, we share what faith, community and God’s loving presence can do for our little people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
Adult Faith Exploration
Faith is a growing sense of exploration and reaching beyond to grasp eternal truth and meaning. Riverside offers a variety of programs and activities to help us all to nurture and grow in faith, through asking questions and sharing wisdom with one another. A few of our regular opportunities for nurturing the spiritual dimension of our human living include the following.
Book Club – The Book Club plans to meet 5 to 6 times a year, usually on Sunday evenings. Our book choices are not always faith-based, but do prompt us to reflect on topics and issues that are relevant to our lives and ministry. Check our Calendar (click here) and News and Events page for dates and titles.
Affirming 2SLGBTQIA+ Education – Ages 16+ are welcome to learn about 2SLGBTQIA+ Identities, Language, Pronouns, Canadian History, World realities, How to support someone, What does Allyship look like, Microaggressions and Perceptions. We will have plenty of room to ask questions, go through scenarios, and learn in a small groups. Sessions available on request.
