Riverlands is a church focused on leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ that they want to share with others.

God sent his Son Jesus Christ to this earth to give each of us an opportunity to live forever with Him. At Riverlands, it is our purpose to share God's offer of salvation, love and acceptance in a relevant way with our community.

• Bible Based
  The Bible is our only rule of faith and practice. We are committed to building a church based on biblical principles.
• Mission Focus
  God wants a relationship with each and every person. Because of this, everything Riverlands does will be for the purpose of leading people into a saving relationship with Christ.
• Prayer
  Prayer is communicating with God. By living prayer-filled lives we will seek God's direction in everything we do.
• Equality of All People
  Every person is equal before God and within this community. We will strive for unity, and encourage each person to realise and utilise the spiritual gifts they have been given by the Holy Spirit so that they may grow in their Christian experience.
• Love and Acceptance
  It is our aim to reflect the character of Jesus by showing love and non-judgemental acceptance to all people we come into contact with, and offer relevant and effective help as we are able.
• Small Groups
  We believe that Christian community is essential to the development of a strong, balanced, Christian life, and that every member needs to be a part of a small group that fosters spiritual growth.
• Authentic Relevant Worship
  As a church we will be continually sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, being prepared to adapt and develop as He leads us. We will continually evaluate and seek to improve everything that we do.
• Adaptability
  As a church we will be continually sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit being prepared to adapt and develop as He leads us. We will continually evaluate and seek to improve everything that we do.
• Church Establishment
  Because we have experienced the love of God, we want to share our relationship with Jesus with as many people as possible. Because the establishment of new churches has been shown to be one of the most effective ways of achieving this, we are committed to establishing new churches.
