Our Beliefs
We believe that God is love and God’s grace is the foundation of our relationship with God. We believe that Jesus Christ is the fullest revelation of God, and that through Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection, we are reconciled to God and empowered to live out Christ’s mission. We believe in the power of the Spirit to guide, convict, and equip us for ministry.
We believe that the Bible is divinely inspired, and through the Spirit's power, God continues to speak to us today through this sacred text. We believe that we are wholistic beings with physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs, and that the health message is a call to care for ourselves so we can love those closest to us and serve our community.
We believe in the practice of Sabbath as a gift of God’s presence, offering us rest, renewal, and a deep connection with God. We resist legalistic perfectionism and instead embrace the freedom and grace that comes through faith in Jesus.
We believe in the importance of community, both locally and globally. As members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, we are part of a worldwide movement committed to sharing the good news of Jesus' love and soon return.

As a mom to three amazing kids—Gideon, Kara, and Jericho—I understand the importance of helping the next generation love God, love others, and serve. My husband, Kevin, is also a pastor, serving at the Sparks Seventh-day Adventist Church, and together we’re committed to making God’s grace known in our community.

Our Story
Riverview Adventist Church is a welcoming place where people of all ages can connect, grow in faith, and support each other.
Founded in Reno in 1878, our church now resides on West Fourth Street on a hill overlooking the Truckee River, where we share our campus with Riverview Academy, creating a safe space where families can thrive.
We celebrate the Sabbath as a time for rest and renewal, and we invite you to join us, whether you’re new to the area or looking for a place to belong.
Come be a part of our warm, multigenerational family.
