Missions at Riverstone

RiverStone is a mission church, not just a church that does missions! We believe in training our people and sending them out into many different areas of the world to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether working with young mothers in our own community or orphans in Africa, we believe there is great value and worth in living outside of ourselves and serving those around us.

Mission Statement:

In imitating Christ’s compassion for the weary and the lost, and prayerfully seeking wisdom and discernment from the Lord, it is the mission of the RiverStone Outreach Team to equip and strengthen the Lord’s harvest laborers with Godly counsel, financial support, and encouragement in order to be effective transformers of our city, country, and world.
