Make a Joyful Noise at Riverside

Riverside Chancel Choir

The Rodger Schock Community Organ

Our historic Rodger Schock organ recently turned 50. In memory of Rodger, Riverside raised over $23,000 for its restoration. The organ is now available for community events in our sanctuary.
It is now available for community music events in our sanctuary. Reach out to rent our space for your upcoming performance!

We are open to hosting a variety of music programs in our sanctuary, and if your group is interested, please contact the church at 541-386-1412 for information.
