Hello Riverside Family!
We hope that you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! We’re so thankful for your generosity in serving and giving.
Thank you for supporting the annual One Day to Feed the World campaign! Together, we met our $50,000 goal to help equip, empower, and feed those in need worldwide. Our one day transforms their lives every day as we continue to be FOR the World with our giving.
Christmas Giving Tree gifts are due by Sunday, December 7! Please do not wrap the gifts, but include a tag number with the gift, which can be found on the sign-up page. Thank you so much for providing 63 gifts to kids throughout the community.

Every year, we receive a special benevolence offering at our Christmas Eve Services to help those in need at this time of year. This is above and beyond our regular giving. If you’d like to give online to benefit others and express your love and compassion, you can do so through the FOR The World fund here. Of course, you can give in person or send your offering by mail. Thank you!

As the Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills continues to experience significant changes, our church leadership has been prayerfully exploring what opportunities these shifts may create for the future of our church. Join us after service on Sunday, January 18, for a meaningful conversation about what’s ahead for our Pittsburgh Mills Campus. We’ll share updates, discuss possible next steps and facility options, and outline the financial factors we’re prayerfully considering. Most importantly, we’ll take time to pray together, dream, and seek God’s direction for Riverside’s next chapter in the years ahead. This is a great opportunity to hear updates, ask questions, and be part of the process as we trust and expect God to lead us into what’s next, so that together we can help EVEN MORE people find and follow Jesus.
In 2026, Riverside will embark on various regional and global Impact Trips. If you are interested in participating in an Impact Trip but have questions, connect with our Missions and Outreach Pastor, Mike Wolf, at each campus in the following weeks!
- Oakmont Campus: January 18, 2026, at 9:30 am (after first service). Let us know you are coming here!
- Pittsburgh Mills Campus: February 1, 2026, at 11:15 am (after service). Let us know you are coming here!
At the end of January, our students will enjoy the annual Winter Retreat at Laurelville Retreat Center. We know this time is beneficial to them because it allows them to build friendships, get away from home and school stress, and, most importantly, connect with Jesus. We want to ensure all students interested in attending can do so without financial stress. This year, the cost is $200 per student. If you would like to help offset the costs of this retreat, you can do so here. We thank you for your willingness to support our amazing students!
Save the Date: Annual Men's Retreat at Laurelville Retreat Center will be March 13 - 15, 2026! All men aged 18 and older are encouraged to attend this incredible weekend designed to strengthen our faith and connect with other men. More details to come!
As we continue to look forward to all 2026 has in store, we encourage you to routinely check out the calendar and sign-ups to stay involved with what is happening at Riverside.
May you be blessed with joy, hope, peace, and love this Christmas.
