Deacons
Deacons at Riverside serve as ‘ministers of help and compassion’ and assist the elders by taking delegated leadership in certain practical, logistical, and administrative areas. In this way the various ministries of the church can be better served and the elders will be better able to focus on their primary responsibility of the spiritual leadership of the church family.
