River Road Church, Baptist

River Road Church, Baptist A community of believers in Richmond, VA seeking a "thoughtful faith." This is the official page of River Road Church, Baptist.

In 1945, a group of Christians began dreaming of a church in Richmond, which, though rooted in Baptist heritage, would be open to people of all Christian faiths. River Road Church was constituted in 1946 and today the congregation continues to grow and foster that dream. For questions or comments contact [email protected].

This morning, we're called to action not with abstract philosophy, but with a direct command: bless, feed, and carry warmth and fire to the actual humans around us. We do this not because we've earned it, but because God has done the same for us.

We invite you to join us for worship this Sunday, September 6, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. The service will also be broadcast live at youtube.com/riverroadchurch and rrcb.org/live, and the livestream will begin at 10:50 a.m. with pre-worship music.

We welcome Rev. Dr. David Breckenridge, Minister of Pastoral Care, to the pulpit as our guest preacher on Sunday morning.

We welcome Greg Vick as our guest organist this week.

This Sunday we will celebrate communion. For those worshiping at home, please gather elements prior to worship if you are able—crackers or bread, juice—whatever you have that is the closest. Sincerity and the meaning of sharing in Christ together are most important. For those worshiping in the Sanctuary, we will pass the communion plates during worship, but for those who prefer the pre-packaged cup and wafer or gluten free wafer, you may pick one up from the basket in the narthex or balcony before worship.

If you are unable to join us in-person, or watch the stream live, replays are available on our YouTube channel at anytime.

We often read scripture as a checklist of obligations, leading to guilt and feelings of falling behind. But Paul's message in Romans isn't about earning God's love. It's a description of what beloved people look like, showing the visible evidence of a heart transformed by grace.

Can you genuinely love those who persecute you? Paul challenges us to bless our enemies, a difficult but transformative path. It's hard not to react with anger, but perhaps there's a higher way.

For 80 years, River Road Church has been nurturing the sacred joy of music-making in young people—from preschool through high school. And there’s always room for another voice! 🎵

Our children’s and youth choirs are free and open to singers of all experience levels. Whether your child has been singing for years or is simply curious about making music, there’s a place for them to learn, grow, have fun, and share their gifts.

Choirs rehearse on Sundays, and sing in Sunday worship a few times each semester, with special appearances on Christmas Eve, Palm Sunday, Youth Sunday, and more.
