Starting the first weekend in August, we will be starting an intense three week series on worship. Our worship is something that God not only demands, but it is something that he desires. Throughout these three weeks we will hear from a variety of different speakers and learn a biblical perspective on worship. Come and encounter the living God like you never have before. Don’t miss this incredible series!

“Worship is the act of the abandoned heart adoring its God”

Hebrews starts Monday, August 2!

What is VXV?

VXV is the Verse by Verse Bible teaching ministry of Riverside Church in Three Rivers, Michigan taught by John and Sara Koller. The Riverside Mission Statement is to introduce people to Jesus Christ and help them to become fully devoted followers of Him. VXV exists to serve the second part of that mission through expositional Bible study, to help men and women become fully devoted followers of Christ. John and Sara have a burning passion in their hearts for the pure Word of God, and to see others transformed by its supernatural power to cut to the heart, encourage, edify and instruct.

At VXV we study the Word of God for one searing simple reason: in order that we may know Him. In order that we may know and fall madly in love with the Person and Works of Jesus Christ, and come to an awe and an appreciation of all that He is, all that He has done, and all that He is continuing to do in our lives and in the lives of those around us.

At VXV we’re not after religion – we’re after relationship. So feel free to come and explore the Word of God with us as we allow Him to set the agenda by His Word. At versexverse.com you can listen to our current series in Hebrews, download mp3’s, browse blogs & topical papers, post comments or ask questions – either about the text or anything that may be on your mind concerning the things of God. We will do the best we can to respond – and we thank you for your patience as we’re building up this website.

When and Where We Meet

Currently, VxV is taking place on Monday nights @ 7 p.m. in the Riverside auditorium. The lesson usually takes about 45 minutes with a Q&A/forum afterwards. You are always invited. Free snacks and beverages are available.

Freedom, is the ability to live life as the person you are created and redeemed to be…Foundations of Freedom, is the best deal you will find anywhere. We want to help people encounter God, as we believe that this restores people to their created identity and purpose. Their factory settings as we like to say. Foundations of Freedom empowers people to discover and walk in the freedom provided them through Christ.

Pastor Jerry has spent hours gaining informative and engaging insight, and this content is revolutionary.

Telos is our weekend retreat that takes place after you have been through foundations of freedom. This takes place right here at the church on Friday night and Saturday morning. Telos is designed to facilitate an encounter with God. Through these two days you will experience freedom from EVERYTHING that has held you back.
