SHARED MINISTRY
We are thrilled to announce that starting May 1, 2025, Riverside has entered into a Shared Ministry with Calvary United, White Oaks United, and Wesley-Knox United Churches. The four churches will be sharing the services of Rev. Kerry Stover, Rev. Michelle Owens, and Rev. Rob Apgar-Taylor during a two year trial period.
We are excited to collaborate with each Community of Faith, and with Kerry, Rob, and Michelle as we work together to ensure the continued success of each community. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this a reality!

Our building is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Wendat peoples—a territory covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. We are grateful to have the opportunity to worship on this land and work toward right relations with one another. May we listen to the voice of Truth and Reconciliation that calls to us today and invites us to work toward a better tomorrow with all our relations.
