About Us
What We Do...
Use the menu on the left to take a look at the various events and meetings that
happen weekly at Riverside. Want to get involved?
Contact us today!
We are a contemporary, lively, passionate, family-based church working out what it means to
love God and serve Him in our community. The bible is the foundation for us – what we believe,
what we do.
However, we also want to be 100% relevant to the 21st century world so we use contemporary
music & technology, and our talks reflect the issues we all face.
Whilst our Sunday morning meeting is the focus, Riverside is about much more than meeting
together once a week. We meet in smaller, home-based groups during the week to encourage and
support each other. Mission – serving God by serving others – is important to us at Riverside.
We are involved with projects around the world, providing care and support to a number of
projects.
The whole family is catered for at Riverside. There are activities and programmes for toddlers,
primary school children, and a thriving youth group. We’d love to see you at Riverside – our
Sunday morning meetings take place at The Minster School, Nottingham Road, Southwell,
beginning at 10.15am. We are a family church with a big heart and a warm welcome - we look
forward to seeing you!

Our Venue
The Minster School was completly rebuilt in 2008. Not only is the venue comfortable and
enjoyable to be in, but it also includes a brand new PA system along with multiple projectors
and screens that are used during sermons and times of worship. There are several side rooms available
for the youth group, kids club and creche. We also use a canteen area to serve tea and coffee (and sometimes
breakfast goodies!) before and after the service.
Please feel free to come along and join us anytime. We hope you enjoy life at Riverside Church!
