Welcome

WELCOME to Riviera Presbyterian Church, an alternative mainline church where individual differences are affirmed and celebrated. Riviera is a faith community of progressive, friendly people of all ages and backgrounds who appreciate an inclusive, thoughtful approach to faith, an outstanding music ministry, and a commitment of service to the neighborhood.

If you are looking for a place to explore your faith and learning more about our church, join us in our next informal meeting, “Conversations about Membership” held by the Rev. Laurie Kraus, Riviera’s minister. For more information call: 305-666-8586, or email rivierachurch@bellsouth.net.

We gather for education and worship each Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. Sunday school for children 3+ and care for younger children begins following children’s circle time during Worship.

Fellowship is important to us, so join us after church for a pot-luck luncheon on the first Sunday of each month, and for frequent fellowship events throughout the church year.

If you believe God’s love includes everyone — you’ll love Riviera Church!
