The ILC Riverside campus is experiencing remarkable growth as a daughter work of ILC Rialto. Since its inception 5 years ago, the Riverside location has become a vibrant and growing church, not only reflected in rising attendance numbers (90-100 on Sundays), but also in growing involvement fostering a sense of belonging, and in a tangible deepening of the glory of God in each service as God continues to renew prodigals and pour out His Spirit on the hungry. We’ve been thrilled this year already to see more souls filled with the Holy Ghost (30) and be baptized in Jesus’ Name (24) than any of the first five years.

One of the key drivers of this growth has been the church’s commitment to ongoing Bible studies, which currently average approximately 90 students each week.  Another driver has been in the area of translation services as ILC Riverside continues to increase the number of trilingual services with sign language and Spanish translation being offered, thanks to training from Sis. Mindy Rowe and Sis. Mary Yoder.  As a result, we have seen more first time guests this year (140+) than any previous year.

The church has focused intensely in the last 8 months on consistently diving deeper in the scripture, with programs like Thursday Theology, an additional night of the week dedicated to expository teaching, as well as constantly keeping daily Bible reading at the forefront of the congregation’s minds.  Training programs, leadership meetings, and mentorship opportunities have empowered members to take active roles in ministry, enhancing their spiritual growth and fostering a culture of service.

As ILC Riverside continues to expand, it remains committed to its mission of Magnifying Jesus and Making Disciples. With continued emphasis on prayerfully fostering powerful worship services, enriching fellowship, and ongoing discipleship, the church is poised for even greater impact in the months to come. The journey ahead looks promising, and the congregation is excited to see how God will continue to move in Riverside.  Thank you for your prayers and support!
