Our History
In the Fall of 1977, a church-planting team from Ames, Iowa moved to Lansing to start a college church on the campus of Michigan State University. That church became Riverview.
In the Fall of 1977, a church-planting team from Ames, Iowa moved to Lansing to start a college church on the campus of Michigan State University. That church became Riverview.
The leadership of the church had two key desires when they launched: to train pastors and to send those pastors to start other churches. The mission of Riv hasn’t changed, and we now have pastors serving in cities across the midwest, and countries including Canada, Venezuela, Honduras, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, and China.
