At Riverside Church, we are all about living in the current. To us, that means we center everything we do around three values: experiencing grace, growing in love and giving of ourselves. These three values are represented by the head, heart and hands icons you see below.
Here’s how we like to explain it:

 Experience Grace:

Creating environments for people to receive, live in, and share God’s grace.

Ephesians 2:8-10: "For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Grow in Love: 
   
Providing opportunities for people to grow in wisdom, character, and obedience.

Ephesians 4:15: "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the head, that is, Christ."
                               

Give of Yourself:



Equipping people for effective stewardship, investing time, talent and treasure.

2 Corinthians 9:8: "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things and at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work."

Our Discipleship Process:

What does it mean to “live in the current?”

A river’s current is a mighty movement of water that sweeps up everything in its path and carries it to a new destination. It is powerful, it is constantly changing, and it is unstoppable. A current is never stagnant; it does not leave anything within its banks in the same place. At Riverside Church, Living in the Current is more than just a tagline. It describes the purpose, the process and the person that is created through the movement of Riverside’s discipleship process. In John 7:38 Jesus said, “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”
