Tiny Treasures Toddler Group: Tuesdays 10:30am - 12pm @ the Church Centre

The Toddler group is open to parents with children under the age of 5. The Church Centre has lots of space for little ones to run around and play, with a wide range of toys for them to enjoy. There are craft sessions, stories and refreshments provided - and for the adults, a chance to meet other parents and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee!

The Marriage Course is produced by Holy Trinity Brompton Church and is designed to build and strengthen the important relationship of marriage. Paul & Janice Finn lead and teach the course and have a real desire to see couples enjoy a successful and rewarding marriage. The evening, which includes a candlelit dinner, provides couples with the opportunity to discuss some of the issues that are raised on the course.

The Big Red Bus Project: Thursday evenings in Northam & Bitterne Manor, 7-9pm

The Big Red Bus is a converted double decker owned by the Miracle Street organisation in Southampton. A team from our church take the bus onto local estates (Northam and Bitterne Manor) on alternate weeks and seek to build relationships with the youth of the area. Regular activities include playing football, playstation and enjoying hot chocolate. The Bus Project seeks to connect with young people in a fun and practical way to show God's love.

Fullness of Life: Every fortnight - Fridays, 10am - 12pm @ the Church Centre

Fullness of Life is a social group open to all those who are more mature in age...50 or over to be precise! Meeting together on the first and third Friday of each month we enjoy home-made cakes, coffee mornings, lunches, cream teas as well as the occasional quiz! There are also outings that take place from time to time. Fullness of Life is an opportunity to share and build friendships in a caring environment.

Music Team Meeting: Every fortnight - Fridays, 7:30pm - 10pm @ the Church Centre

Praise and worship of God, through music and song, is an integral part of the life of any church. At Riverside we seek to develop our creative musical skills through regular practise. The music team meet every fortnight to spend time learning new songs, developing our talents and discovering more about our worship of God. Time is also spent building good friendships with others in the team.

The Breakfast Club: First Saturday of every month - 8:30am - 11am @ the Church Centre

The Breakfast Club at Riverside provides a morning meal on a Saturday once a month. It is designed for people who may not have a home or fixed address or do not have access to a good, solid meal. The team serve up a full English breakfast, as well as cereals, toast, teas and coffees. The Breakfast Club also offers people an
opportunity to come, relax and chat with people. Other local churches have caught the vision of this Breakfast Club and are now providing a breakfast on different 
Saturdays in the month.

Sunday Morning Worship: Every Sunday, 10:30am @ the Church Centre

Our Sunday morning celebration takes place at 10:30am each week. We gather together and spend time in praise and worship of God, through singing, creative dancing and prayer. We seek to be open to what God might want to do in the meeting through His Holy Spirit, and our desire is that God will minister to people in various ways. We are a Bible based church and so the preaching of God's word is a central part of our time together. After the service, refreshments are served and there is an opportunity to build friendships with people.

Junior Church & Sunday Treasures: Every Sunday, 11:15am @ the Church Centre

During the preaching of God's word, the children have their own teaching at a more age appropriate level - Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. They enjoy singing and music, DVD's, games, colouring and lots more, all of which are designed to help the children learn more about God. These activities are run by church staff, all of whom are CRB checked.

Polish Meeting: Second Sunday of every month, 2 - 4pm @ the Church Centre

At Riverside we have a large number of Polish people that attend our church. On the second Sunday of each month, we hold a special service that is conducted entirely in the Polish language. Before the meeting, the Polish people from Riverside share a delicious meal together and enjoy building fellowship. Polish people from other churches are very welcome to attend this monthly service.

Kidz Klub: Last Sunday of every month, 4-6pm @ the Church Centre

Kidz Klub is aimed at 5-11 year olds from the local community and is a time of fun, food, craft activities and games! Kidz Klub seeks to communicate God's love to the children in fun practical and exciting ways.
