Experience, Equip, Engage
We are a thriving community of committed Christians who have been serving Riverside for more than 100 years. Our mission is to help children and adults come to know Jesus Christ in a personal way, and to assist them to grow as His disciples.
Immanuel means "God With Us," but it's more than just a title for God; it's a promise that He gives to His followers. In good or difficult times, we have great confidence in Christ's constant care for our lives.

What to Expect
Leadership
Steven Borst
Pastor Borst came to Immanuel as Sr. Pastor in September of 2008. He comes to us with experience as a church planter, campus pastor, conference speaker, published author, and university professor. Steven's passion is to help Christians discover authentic discipleship by responding to Jesus' call: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." (Matthew 16:24-25)Location & Directions

When we visited Immanuel 2 years ago, we immediately knew that we had been led to our church home. Since then, we have become members and have been excited with all the opportunities for worship, study and ministry. Focus on God's Word in every aspect of life at Immanuel has been especially meaningful for us. We feel so blessed to be a part of this wonderful congregation, and we would like to share that experience with you!

Immanuel is such a blessing to our family. We love it here! The pastors are exceptional, and the folks are friendly. You couldn't ask for a better, more spiritually uplifting experience!
Bob shared their experience Oct 2012
11 years ago when our family moved to Riverside we were looking for a church that was grounded in teaching the word of God. We also wanted to find a church where God would let us use our gifts that He graciously blessed us with. We found that here at Immanuel. We got connected in ministry right away. Teaching Sunday School, Leading Small Group Bible Studies and leading worship on Sunday mornings. Getting involved with small groups and volunteering for different ministry teams allowed us to meet alot of different people that have truely blessed our lives over the years. Our familys spiritual life has blossomed here at Immanuel in experiencing God's presence in our lives through word and sacrament, equipping us to use our gifts to glorify God and engage our neighbors and community with the love of Jesus Christ. As a newcomer you can expect a warm welcome and you will experience God's presence as you sing praises to our heavenly Father and hear the powerful word of God being preached from our Pastors. We offer a dynamic Sunday School for Toddler thru 6th grade with age appropriate material that is fun and engaging. We have a staffed child care for the little ones that are too young to go to Sunday School. We offer both liturgical and comtemporary styles of worship. I love meeting new and returning guest and look forward to meeting you. Let us grow in Christ together!
