We believe that it's really important for followers of Jesus to be part of and involved in a church family. At Riverside Vineyard, we want to help people clearly understand who we are and what we're about. There are therefore a number of different ways that those new to or visiting this church can find out more. For further details, please see the bulletin section.

Newcomers evenings - these take place in the home of one of the pastoral staff. Over desserts and coffee, these informal times are an excellent opportunity to meet others new to Riverside as well as some of the pastoral staff and other leaders in the church.

Place to Belong - this takes place on a Sunday morning, at the same time as a morning service. This is an opportunity to find out more about our history as a church, what's important to us, why we do things the way we do, and how people can become involved.

"Connect" - this course takes a deeper look at some of the things that are important to us. The course includes sessions on worship, growing in relationship with Jesus, identifying and growing in gifting, and how to pray for others in the power of the Spirit.

Sunday Lunch - on the first Sunday of each month, this takes place after the morning service, and is for anyone who wants to have a great lunch and meet others in the church.
