Our Church

not much happens around here without your help.

One of the greatest ways to practically engage Christ’s mission to the world is to enlist yourself in serving your River West Church community. Each week a dedicated team of volunteers pitches in to help make things happen. Without these folks, there would be no coffee, no music, no childcare, no bulletins, no sound, no youth workers and no donuts! And it's all done by ordinary folks who love Jesus. Volunteers do so much to serve the church!  And yes, we need you.
