LOVE HOOPERS ISLAND…TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
But you will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and YOU will be my WITNESSES in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.” – Acts 1:8
At Riverside, we do not want to just be a church that claims to love others. We want to be witnesses to the rest of the world that we have been transformed by the grace of Jesus. We are not just on Hoopers Island – we are invited to participate in a worldwide community.
In addition to various local church events and ministries targeted towards outreach and loving Hoopers Island, read below to learn about two tangible ways you can be part of the life-changing work we are invited to with Jesus.
The Riverside Free Pantry exists to help meet the basic food needs of anyone needing a bit extra.
It is anonymous, open 24/7, and free for anyone in the community; no questions asked. This is a resource that is available to ALL of Hoopers Island, so take what you need without hesitation.
The coolest part? The pantry is entirely stocked by the Riverside Family. You’re invited to be part of this!
Impacto Ministry is our global ministry partner!
They exist to offer life-giving hope and resources through COMPASSION, TRAINING, AND CONSTRUCTION MINISTRIES.
Learn more about each of the ways they minister to the Guatemalan people on their website: IMPACTO MINISTRIES.
At select times throughout the year, Riverside will take intentional time to revisit our giving to Impacto and encourage the church to partake in corporate giving to this incredible organization.
