Loving and serving Jesus in community.

Riverside Community Church, formerly The Church at Carter’s Orchard, started in the summer of 2009 with a handful of people meeting at the Tuscarawas County YMCA with a vision of teaching how the gospel functions in our lives and to be a healthy community of Christ Followers. Through the generosity of our members and many people in our community, we were able to purchase a building to call home and had our grand opening service on January 30, 2022. We now meet weekly at 2201 Progress Street in Dover.

We have grown considerably since then, but we are still pursuing our vision of “worshiping in community, equipping people to serve, and sharing the Gospel”.

Riverside is so much more than a Sunday morning service, but Sunday morning is often the place that’s easiest to be introduced, so if you haven’t been to a Sunday gathering yet you should consider coming. We’d love to introduce our church family to you!

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that salvation is through Christ alone, and in the on-going work of the Holy Spirit. Learn more about who we are and what we’re all about through the links below…
