Riverside Community Church

About this church

Riverside Community Church is a Dover congregation pursuing worship in community, equipping people to serve, and sharing the gospel. It began in 2009 as The Church at Carter’s Orchard with a small group meeting at the Tuscarawas County YMCA, then opened its current building in 2022. Children’s ministry, connection opportunities, and women’s groups support a growing church that still emphasizes life together.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. Families check children in and out at the lobby desk using matching labels, while a security team monitors the hallways. Nursery volunteers care for babies and toddlers, a preschool room serves younger children, and Kids’ Church serves grades one through five. All children’s volunteers pass background checks. Most parking and the main entrance are behind the building; guest spaces are also in front, and accessible parking is available at both entrances. Clothing is intentionally informal, with the visitor page’s only practical rule being to wear something. First-time families should enter from the rear before 10:00, complete check-in, and ask the lobby team which age-based room applies to each child.
