Gisborne, every Sunday

Come as you are, all welcome.

Riverside is a small, friendly church on the river side of Gisborne, with a service, a cup of tea and a place for the kids every Sunday.

About us

A small church, a long history

Riverside has met in the same hall on Customhouse Street since 1968. Pastor Michael Tane has led the church since 2015, alongside a small team of volunteers who make Sundays happen.

We are a mixed bunch, families, students, older folk who have been here for decades and people who walked in for the first time last month. Everyone is genuinely welcome.
