LOCAL & GLOBAL OUTREACH
Here at Riverview, we believe we have a responsibility to reach beyond our walls and share the love of Christ with the world around us. We do this through our outreach events here locally and through global mission trips to serve those beyond our borders.

Restore Haiti
We've taken two youth/young adult mission trips to Jacmel, Haiti. Duties have included painting homes, serving meals, distributing hygiene items, hosting youth nights & vacation bible schools at local schools. We have had training sessions with youth leaders, hosted a thanksgiving dinner with crafts, food, a puppet show, and more. |
During this season of limited travel, one way you can still have a global impact is to sponsor a child through the Restore Haiti program. Sponsoring a child is a $38/month commitment and provides food, access to clean drinking water, medical care, and education to a child in Haiti. We also partner with Restore Haiti for mission trips so in the future, you may be able to plan a trip to meet your sponsored child. |
Transform Africa
We have helped support missionary, Alex Mutagubya, since his initial visit to our church years ago with just a vision of a church plant in Uganda. Now with a thriving church, Alex visits about frequently to speak at Riverview, update us on how the work in Uganda is doing, and take a love offering to help support God's moving in their church. |
