Riverwood Baptist Church is an independent, Bible believing Baptist church, unaffiliated with any associations. We believe that through preaching and teaching the word of God, sinners are brought to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We also believe, that those who are saved will grow in the grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ as they believe and keep God's words.

     We haven't gone the way of modern entertainment to attract folks. We believe the Holy Spirit will fill them as they yield to His work in their lives. It does not take a rock band to make that happen. We believe that the Church should concentrate on doing God's work, and let God's ways prevail (Psalm 25:4-5). At the same time, we haven't gone the way of legalism that seems to have plagued many independent Baptist churches these days. We believe that "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."

     We are a missions minded church. We give direct monthly support to a number of missionaries and Christian outreach organizations, both here in our local community, and around the world. Likewise, we send special offerings to other missionaries as the Lord provides. We believe that the local church thrives in its local soul winning and discipleship capabilities in direct proportion to its missions support. 

     We are also conscious that souls without Christ die and go to an eternity in hell, and eventually the lake of fire. Rather than teach some doctrine that convinces Christians to be silent about their faith in Christ, we teach our folks to lead souls to Christ. We believe the most effective way to do that today is to teach people to be witnessing wherever they are, with whomever they contact.

     We also believe that charity (1 Corinthians 13) should be the underlying motive of everything we do. If all of this isn't directed by our love for the Lord Jesus (1 John 4:19) and those whom He has called us to minister to, then we are wasting our time. Therefore it is our supreme desire to maintain personal fellowship with our Savior. This day and age, that can be tough to do. 

     If this sounds like the kind of church you are looking for, then we encourage you to come by and visit us during our services. Listen to the preaching and teaching. Get to know the folks. Ask the Lord if Riverwood Baptist Church is the place where He wants you to be.
