Our Mission Statement

We believe that Christ has created Riverside Presbyterian Church to be a fellowship of love.  We seek to provide a loving, nurturing environment to develop our personal relationship with God; to increase our knowledge of His love; to share God's love with others.

THE BLESSINGS OF RIVERSIDE

We believe that Christ has created Riverside Church in order to be a blessing to the greater community of LaSalle and the Towns of Niagara and Wheatfield.  We believe true joy and happiness are found in life in relationship with God and in service to him.  By the power of the Holy Spirit we wish to share the blessings of God with those around us.  Our work and mission will be shaped by our trust in the following truths proclaimed by Jesus:

I.  HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE LORD, FOR THEY SHALL EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul."  Worship is the core of our Church's life together.

II.  HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO OPEN THEMSELVES TO OTHERS, FOR THEY SHALL DISCOVER HUMAN FRIENDSHIP.

"Love one another even as I have loved you."  The fellowship of our Church is central to its strength.    

III.  HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO CARE FOR THOSE IN NEED, FOR THEY SHALL FIND CHRIST.

"When you have done it to the least of these, my brethren, you have done it unto me."  The Church is to minister to people in need.

IV.    HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO ARE LEARNING GOD'S WORD, FOR THEY SHALL BECOME THE PEOPLE GOD INTENDS THEM  TO BE.

"Be ye perfect."  The Church is to foster the spiritual growth of its men, women and children that they might become better disciples.

V.    HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST, FOR THEIR OWN FAITH IS STRENGTHENED.

"Go into all the world...."  The Church is to proclaim and teach the Gospel of Christ.
