We are here to serve and our philosophy of spiritual leadership is that we follow the example of Jesus. 

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” 

Mark 10:45

Jesus is the greatest leader who has ever lived. He modeled a unique approach to leadership that defies our expectations but changed the world. Jesus leveraged His authority for the benefit of those under His authority. Following Jesus means that, when we find ourselves in positions of authority, we do the same. We see our role as a part of the team at Riverside to be one of equipping and empowering others. 

“He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-13 (NLT)

How can we help you find and follow Jesus?
