Come and join us for relevant worship; dynamic prayer and teaching that challenges and transforms those who long to live for Jesus.
Our informal atmosphere will make you feel right at home, and you'll be looked after by our greeting team and hosts.
Splash is our expression of church designed for families with children. With high energy and creative worship, prayer and treaching we utilise arts and crafts, games, technology, and drama to teach everyone how wonderful Jesus is and how amazing it is to live for Him.
We start at 11:45am and aim to finish at 12:30pm with plenty of time after for drinks, snacks and free play.
It's a great environment to be in and fulfils one of Riverside's values which is to have fun.
We'd love you to come along, even better let us know if you plan to be with us and we'll look after you.
Bubbles is our Parent and Toddler Group and runs from 9:30am to 11:30 on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays during term time.
We start with songs, puppets, stories and activities with a Christian ethos for about 30 mins.
After that we bring out the toys and open out the whole building to make one great big free play area.
The Cafe is open from 9am for coffee. We share fruit at 10:30am and the Cafe is open for lunch from 11am.
The cost is $2 per child. There is no need to book but it'd great if you let us know you plan to come along.
If you are in years 7-12, SHOUT Youth is the place to be in Gawler. Every Friday from 7pm-9pm during term time.
The cost is $2 each week and this includes food.
Our dedicated and trained team make sure everyone belongs and is valued.
SHOUT is run by members of Riverside Church so you can expect all content, values and interactions to have a strong Christian ethos, but saying that, one of our Church values is FUN so you can be assured of a great laugh and a great place to make good solid friendships.
Come on give us a try, you'd be crazy not too!

As the ladies of the Church we know that every woman needs an oasis, a place of rest, relaxation and refreshing away from all our responsibilities.
Actually we believe that all you need to create an oasis is a good cup of coffee, unhurried time and a group of supportive friends.
So with that thought in mind, in the midst of our busy lives we created a women’s only oasis at Riverside Cafe.
Come along and see where the conversations and the friendships lead!
Purruna Community Garden is amongst the tranquil setting alongside the North Para River. We are growing vegetables and herbs which is already producing a regular harvest for our commercial kitchen. Our aim broadly is to grow food which can be used by the kitchen team in their menus and meal packs they create. In addition to being productive growing space, we also ensure our Community Garden is a great place for people to connect. So, we have named our garden ‘Purruna’, which in Kaurna language means Life Giving and Wellbeing. This perfectly represents what we want our Community Garden to be.
So… if this Community Garden concept is something that piques your interest, even a little bit, we’d love to hear from you. You can contact Josh on 0468 394 569 or Rick on 0417 832 502, who will be able to answer any questions you may have and point you in the right direction.
