Hey there! We're so excited to have you here, checking out our services and programs. Our church gathers every Sunday to be inspired in following Jesus, and we'd love for you to join us as our special guest. Our worship services usually run just over an hour. We sing together, dive into Scripture, share heartfelt prayers, and create chances for you to connect with others in our friendly community. But that's not all! On Wednesday nights during the school year, we also offer a full range of family ministries, providing something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

WHAT IS THE ROCK?
The Rock is what we call everything happening at Riverstone on Wednesday nights - a time designed for the whole family to grow in faith and have fun!
Just like Jesus Christ is our rock and firm foundation, The Rock is a place where kids, students, and parents can connect, worship, and experience God in powerful ways. From engaging, Bible-based teaching and high-energy worship to interactive games, small groups, and activities for every age, there’s something for everyone.
Come be part of a community that feels like family, where faith is built, friendships are made, and Wednesday nights become the highlight of your week!
BOLD. This year on Wednesday nights, we’re asking a big question: What does it really mean to live out our faith with boldness? Together, we’ll explore what it looks like for a generation to step out in courage, take their faith beyond the walls of the church, and impact the world around them.
The best part? Every week the entire family will be learning and growing through the same core concept, tailored for every age group in fun, engaging, and powerful ways. Parents will also receive resources to help keep the conversation going at home, making faith a bold and everyday part of family life.
THE ROCK MEAL || 5:30 - 6:30 PM
We understand the challenges of busy weekday schedules, so we're here to help! Join us every Wednesday before our programs begin for a convenient and delicious buffet-style family meal, making dinnertime a breeze.
STUDENT MINISTRY || 6th-12th GRADE || 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Students meet in The Gathering Place at 6:30 PM and begin the evening with games and activities designed to help kids have fun and engage with others. At 7:00 PM the Student Worship Service begins, led by a live worship team and featuring a message from Pastor Matt or one of other team members. When the service concludes, students break into small groups for deeper connection.
WORSHIP AT THE ROCK || KIDS (5th GRADE & YOUNGER) & ADULTS || 6:30 - 7:30 PM
Worship at The Rock is a worship service that is geared towards engaging kids and parents in their faith together. This service is fun. It’s over-the-top. It’s silly. And it’s where we see the Holy Spirit move in powerful ways and multiple generations come together in worship and adults encounter Jesus through the eyes of a child once again. It’s open to everyone because we believe it’s critical to show the next generation what belonging to a church family really means. This service will primarily be led by Pastor Sam, Maggie, and some of our kids team (yes, that includes Reginald!) but sometimes we’ll even hear from Pastor Matt and other leaders!
FAMILY HOUR || KIDS (5th GRADE & YOUNGER) & ADULTS || 7:30 - 8:30 PM
Our time together during this second hour will look a little bit different each week. Sometimes we’ll have activities planned that engage kids and parents together and sometimes we’ll have guest speakers and topics that make more sense to split the adults and kids up so we can engage everyone where they need it most! Pastor Sam and Maggie will be leading many of these activities with the help of our awesome volunteers!
