• Believe in God, and that Jesus Christ is HIS only begotten son:  John 3:16-18, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:6    

• Repent of your sins:  Luke 13:3-5, Acts 2:38, 3:19, 17:30, II Peter 3:9

• Confess before man that "Jesus is Lord":  Romans 10:9-10, I John. 4:15

• Be Baptized for the forgiveness of your sins:  Acts 2:38, 22:16, Mark. 16:15-16, 1 Peter 3:20-21.
  

• Then add to your faith all of the qualities mentioned in: 1 Peter 1:5-11.

WHAT IS THE CHURCH OF CHRIST?
Riverside Church of Christ

We are Christians attempting to go back to the simplicity and purity of the first century church. We take the Bible alone, and preach the same message, in the same way that the apostles did in the book of Acts. With the Bible as our guide, and with no human creed to stumble on, we enthusiastically seek to find and imitate what the original church was like.
Since the church belongs to Christ, you will find no modern-day organizational bureaucracy, no earthly headquarters. The tie that binds all such congregations around the world together is the Bible. Each congregation, however, is governed by a group of Elders selected from among its members. These men meet specific qualifications given in I Timothy 3 and Titus 1. Their task is to care for the congregation's spiritual needs and keep the focus on God's Word.
Membership in the church is a result of following the Bible's plan to become a Christian. It is not our place to establish any man-made requirements or ceremonies.
If you seek to obey Christ and receive the salvation offered by Jesus, we stand ready to assist you and our arms are open to receive you as a child of God.
..."Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 2:37-39 (NIV)

 WORSHIP
As a part of our continuing effort to make our worship services more meaningful and uplifting, a new assignment questionnaire will be handed out to all men that are interested in being involved in the “public” part of our worship assembly.

You will have the opportunity to indicate your willingness and desire to lead the assembly in prayer, singing, announcements, and Lord’s Table, as well as other integral parts of our worship service.

It has been quite a while since the men of the congregation have been polled as to their wishes in regard to leadership in worship. Soon, we will have a very important meeting of our song leaders, followed by a meeting with all men involved in worship leadership. At these meetings we will discuss ways in which we plan to refresh our worship assembly.

As always, our desire is to provide an atmosphere of reverence, warmth, and heartfelt worship at all public worship assemblies at Riverside.  Please prayerfully consider all areas in which your talents can be used.  We are greatly blessed at Riverside with abundant talent among our men.  Please share your personal blessing with your brothers and sisters by remaining or becoming active in the leadership of our public worship assemblies.
