Riverview Christian

About.

Riverview Christian is a place to find healing, make connections, grow into people of love, and demonstrate The Jesus Way to the world.

Riverview is a community based church in Reading, Pennsylvania. Our place of worship is in the heart of Riverview Park, which is located in Muhlenberg Township. The mission of the church is “In to heal. Out to love.” which summarizes our belief that in order to love this world like Jesus, we must first experience His transformative healing. When we use the word healing, we’re not just referring to physical healing. We believe that Jesus can mend every part of our lives — physically, emotionally, mentally, and relationally — and make it whole and solid.

Our Mission: In to heal. Out to love.

Our desire at Riverview, is to walk beside you on your healing journey. To help guide you, we have developed four “signposts”. They are: Heal, Connect, Grow, and Love. In Grow, we will equip you with practical skills, greater knowledge of the Word of God (the Bible) and lead you out of sin when necessary. We have First, like those who came to Jesus for healing, we gather in church every week to experience Jesus’ presence in the person of the Holy Spirit. God’s word promises that in this presence we will receive healing, comfort, peace,

Our Strategy: Heal. Connect. Grow. Love.

  • Healing is a holistic process that encompasses spiritual, emotional, and relational aspects of an individual's life. Our church is dedicated to facilitating this healing journey by offering a supportive community that encourages vulnerability, authenticity, and mutual care. Through shared worship, prayer, study of God's Word, and intentional fellowship, we aim to create an atmosphere where individuals can experience God's transformative power and find solace in the presence of fellow believers.

  • Connection is the lifeblood of our church. We recognize the profound importance of forging meaningful relationships, both with one another and with a higher power. In our vibrant community, you will find kindred spirits who share your journey, eager to walk alongside you, provide support, and celebrate your victories. Through small groups, study circles, and engaging events, we foster a sense of belonging, where deep connections can flourish and authentic friendships can be nurtured.

  • Growth is nurtured in every aspect of our church. We believe that personal and spiritual development is a lifelong journey, and we are committed to providing a nurturing environment that encourages continual growth. Through insightful sermons, thought-provoking workshops, and educational programs, we strive to inspire you to reach your full potential, unlock hidden talents, and explore the depths of your faith. Our church acts as a greenhouse for the seeds of personal transformation, fostering an atmosphere of learning, discovery, and expansion.

  • Love is the cornerstone of our church's foundation. We embrace the belief that love is the greatest force in the universe and has the power to transform lives. In our sanctuary, you will encounter a love that is unconditional, nonjudgmental, and all-encompassing. Our congregation embodies love in action, extending compassion to all, regardless of background, age, race, or circumstance. We strive to create a community where love is not merely spoken, but experienced in every interaction, creating a ripple effect that spreads throughout the wider world.
