Who We Are

Riverside Christian Fellowship is a non-denominational congregation of followers of Jesus Christ, dedicated to glorifying God through the teaching and application of His Word. This dedication extends to personal and collective worship, with a focus on equipping believers for service within the church to fortify the body of Christ, as well as for outreach beyond the church to spread the Gospel of Christ. Our mission is to Know Jesus and Make Him Known — gaining an understanding of the God of the Bible and assisting others in also knowing Him. At Riverside Christian Fellowship, we offer opportunities to find hope for the future, focus for our lives, build meaningful relationships, and discover practical ways to serve the residents of Rarity Bay and surrounding communities.

We Believe...

  • The Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.
  • There is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
  • Man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin.
  • The only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.
  • In the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead.
  • God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone. The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it.
  • The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a body of believers on mission to enlarge God’s kingdom. The local church is autonomous, free of any external authority of control.
  • Believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church.
