Welcome to our website! I am Pastor Merrill Caviness and it is my privilege to be a part of this community of followers of Jesus at Riverside here in the Washougal area. We believe that the Bible is the true and reliable source of our knowledge about God and his plan for mankind. At Riverside we love Jesus and want to be more like Him.

In this world we all need a place of refuge from the storms of life. We pray that you will find that in a close relationship with Jesus. If you do not know Him, we would like the opportunity to share our experience with Him. He loves you. He died for you. He was resurrected for you. And He promised to return and take you to be with Him. 

We at Riverside take seriously the commission that Jesus gave us to make disciples of all people and to share in the work of Jesus for our community. Our desire is to model our church after the early church of the book of Acts. We believe that to accomplish this goal the church must involve everyone. The Holy Spirit has given each one of us gifts to be used for helping the church fulfill its mission. We are committed to helping each person in the church to find his or her place in service to Christ.

Come visit us one Sabbath. If you are looking for a church family, we would welcome you with open arms. My prayer is that you will experience the love of Jesus and come to know Him as your friend. Look forward to meeting you.
