Serve With Us
Current Needs for
3 Services
As River Ridge prepares to transition to three worship services, we’re inviting you to play an active role in what God is doing here. Serving is one of the most meaningful ways to share the love and light of Jesus, build community, and help create welcoming environments where lives are changed.
There’s a place for everyone to serve—whether you love working with kids, welcoming guests, supporting students, or helping behind the scenes. Explore our current serving needs below and take your next step.
