Who is Riverside Church?

We are an interdenominational, interracial, international, open, welcoming, and affirming church and congregation. The history of The Riverside Church reflects a transformation from a predominantly white Protestant congregation to a multiracial and multicultural church that has been at the vanguard of social justice advocacy, liberation theologies, LGBTQ+ ministries, and a witness that effects the full flourishing of all people. The music at Riverside Church must reflect the diversity of our congregation, city, and world.

Love and justice are at the heart of Riverside Church and ever present in our work, witness, and worship. In worship at Riverside, God is the God of the oppressed who stands with the poor and the outcast. We believe that music is a ministry that has the power to transform individuals, communities, and systems. We want to work collaboratively with a director of music to offer something musically amazing.
