MISSIONS

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

Why We Do Missions...

Matthew 28:19–20 contains what is called the Great Commission: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Jesus gave this command to the apostles shortly before He ascended into heaven, and it essentially outlines what Jesus expected the apostles and those who followed Him to do in His absence.

How is this accomplished?

Riverview is fulfilling this command through the local church and outreaches to our community, but also through international missionary partners. Our church currently supports our international missionary partners in 3 ways: by providing financial support, prayer support and by helping missionaries on the field via short term mission trips. Our prayer for the future is to continue to be a blessing to those missionary partners the Lord brings, but also to come alongside and provide support and training to men called by God to plant churches on the mission field.

You don’t need fancy theological degrees or special training or skills to be involved in missions. All that is required is a personal faith in Jesus Christ and a willingness to be obedient and serve others.

Please contact us if you are interested in helping in any of the following ways or have other ideas of how you can be a part of reaching the nations for Christ.
