OUR ROOTS

The first meeting of this congregation occurred in the fall of 1940 with sixteen Christians.  Our name then was North-side.  By 1948, the group had expanded to 165 members.  In the intervening years, North-side provided assistance in building several new congregations.  Then on New Year’s Eve 1982, we moved to a new building on the west side. We decided to start with a new name as well, Riverside;  but the love of this Christian family has always remained the same.
