Riverside Baptist Church is a small/medium sized church located in Lookout Valley, a suburb of Chattanooga, TN. We are a congregation of believers that love to fellowship with each other and meet new people. But most of all, we love the Lord and try to show that love to others in our community. If you need a place that will accept you as family, this is it.
Riverside was founded almost fifty years ago. Since then, we have been a place where rich or poor, black or white, you name it, can come and feel welcome. Our style of worship is more old-fashioned, like a lot of smaller churches in the the South, but we are open to God's leading. Our pastor is an excellent teacher/preacher who always tries to take us deeper into God's Word, the Bible.
Come dressed as you feel comfortable. We don't expect you to put on a tie or fancy dress, just be respectful of a place of worship.
For those of you who may be wondering how we stand on some key doctrines
- We believe that Jesus Christ was God's Son; fully man, fully God
- We believe that Jesus died and rose again from the grave, literally, and is now seated in Heaven
- We believe in the Trinity
- We believe the Bible is the infallible, inspired word of God
- We believe in the ordinances of the church (The Lord's Supper and Baptism), but do not believe that either produce salvation, only the blessings that come with being obedient to our Lord's commands
- We believe that salvation is a gracious gift of God, not obtained by works, and is freely gained by one who repents of his sins and places his faith in Jesus Christ
