Welcome

RiverLakes Community Church gathers together every week to honor and worship Jesus Christ because of who he is and how he has changed our lives. Our hope is that when you visit, you sense the love, grace and challenge of being in the presence of Christ.

You matter to God and you matter to us.

What To Expect

A typical service will last about an hour and includes a couple of songs up front, announcements, a 35-minutes message from the Bible, and a time to respond through song.

We offer Sunday School for nursery through high school at our 9:00am service and nursery though fourth grade at our 10:30am service.

Plan to hang around after the service for fellowship and meeting new people. If you're new to RiverLakes, please stop by Next Steps in the lobby of the Main Auditorium. We'd love to meet you, give you a gift, and answer questions you may have about our church.

How do I check in my kids?

Families with kids who are aged infant – 6th grade check in downstairs in the Education Building where a greeter will help you register. After checking in, all students will go directly to their class and can be picked up at the end of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

When are your services?
Our worship service times are 9:00am and 10:30am on campus and online (via our website, mobile app, YouTube or Facebook).
Where are your services held?
Worship services are held in our Main Auditorium.
What should I wear when I attend RiverLakes?
The culture of RiverLakes is casual. We welcome you to dress as nicely as you would like, but for the vast majority of those attending on Sundays, attire is comfortable/casual.
What is the music like?
Our time of corporate worship is led by a RiverLakes worship team each Sunday. A typical Sunday morning worship experience would include a worship leader, a couple of singers, and a band. Our desire is to direct the worshiper to focus on the greatness of our God and our need for Him.
Where do I take my children?
We have a place for every child. Families will check in at the Education Building where a greeter will help you register.  After checking in, all students will go directly to their class and can be picked up at the end of service.
Do you have anything for Junior High or High School students?
Absolutely! We have an energetic team which plans small groups and worship times for our students each week. Worship for 5th & 6th Grade, Jr. High and High School is offered at the 9:00am service. Fifth and sixth grade meets in the East Portable, Junior High meets in the Community Center, Room 122, and High School meets upstairs in the Education Building, Room 213.
Do you offer adult Sunday School?
We do not offer Sunday School for adults, but we do strongly believe adults need to engage in meaningful community with others to have regular times of fellowship, Bible study and prayer. To accomplish this, we encourage every adult to participate in a Community Group, which is a smaller group of adults (married / divorced / single / widower / widowed / gender specific) that meet weekly in the homes for bible study discussions and fellowship.
How can I meet some folks or ask additional questions about the church?
We invite you to visit us in Next Steps, located in the lobby of the Main Auditorium! You will meet a few of our staff, learn more about RiverLakes and we'll answer questions you may have about our church.
How do I find all the buildings?
When you arrive on our campus you will be greeted by people in shirts with our logo on them. They are here to help you find your way around; they can help you find the classes for your children and the auditorium locations. We also have signage on each of our buildings.
What translation of the Bible do you teach from?
We teach from the English Standard Version (ESV).
What form of government does RiverLakes operate under?
The way we describe the role of government at RCC is that we are guarded by the elders, guided by the staff, and gifted through the membership.
