✨ Riverside Young Adults ✨
RYA is coming back — and in an even greater capacity.

Riverside Young Adults is moving to a weekly format. Starting October 19, every Monday from 8:00–9:30pm, we’ll be gathering here at the church for a night of worship and fellowship.

The new RYA night will open with a set of musical worship, with Scripture incorporated between songs, and then transition into a social time where the young adults of our community can connect, catch up on life, and find fellowship with their peers.
