Welcome to the Kick-Off of our 100 years Plus One Anniversary of Riverside Baptist Church.

As we look back at the history of our church and what God has accomplished, we thank Him for His hand on and His goodness to our congregation this past century, and we rejoice because of the many who have gone before us, shaping us into the people we are today.

Riverside Baptist Church is a church on a journey that began in October of 1921 and continues today. It has been a journey encompassing strong Biblical teaching from its pastors and Sunday School teachers and a journey giving many opportunities for growth in discipleship, evangelism, and missions. Riversiders over the years have maintained a strong love for God, for His Word, and for each other.

Wherever you have joined us on this journey, we welcome you and invite you to fully participate in the activities planned for the weekend of October 14-16, 2022. We need all of you who are here in Miami, as well as former members coming back to make this a weekend to remember. Together we pray for God’s Spirit to reign in our hearts and in our church, making this event something for which we will be thanking our Sovereign God for years to come.
