Welcome

At The River Christian Reformed Church, we believe in encountering God’s presence, growing together as followers of Christ, and making a difference in both our neighborhood and beyond. Located in Redlands, California, we are a welcoming family of people of all ages, stages, and backgrounds who gather weekly to worship, connect in disciple groups, serve locally and globally, and support one another. Together, we journey toward becoming more like Jesus, caring for one another, and inviting others into life with Him.

What does Sunday look like?

Typically, the service runs for 90 minutes and includes worship, sermons that follow the scriptures closely, and programs for your kids!

What do you have for my kids?

We have a nursery room and early childhood room for young children. We have classes upstairs for K-5th where they are able to learn about how much God loves them and about the Bible in an age appropriate way.

As we care about the safety of each and every child, we have a check-in system with two stations. The first station is in the foyer, which leads into where we worship Sunday mornings. The other station is on the far end of the large building, at the very first entrance.
