Yes, our name is River Road Church, Baptist. We chose that name carefully more than 70 years ago. From the time of our founding, our church has been committed to being ecumenical in spirit—in other words, no matter your church background or tradition, you’re welcome here! In fact, many of our members (and a few of our staff) are from traditions other than Baptist. So, while we are Baptist in our organization and polity, we recognize that we are first and foremost a church of Jesus Christ.

Sunday Worship begins at 11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. Learn more about our Sunday services here.

We also offer a number of special services throughout the year. Click here to learn about any upcoming special services.

Many folks dress in what might be called “business attire,” though you’ll find us in a variety of dress—some men wear coats and ties, while others sport a golf shirt and khakis. Many women wear dresses, while others are comfortable in slacks. The point is this—you are welcome no matter how you are dressed.

There are two parking lot options at River Road Church. You may park in the North parking lot located on Ridge Road (behind the church) or you may park in the South parking lot (in front of the church) across the street, located on River Road. Directions and a map can be found here.

God is both holy and personal. To capture these in our services worship is both formal and welcoming. We often describe our worship service as “gracious dignity.” Find out more about our worship here.
