Building God's Kingdom together
Riverland Baptist Church was established in 1987 in the heart of the Riverland region in Berri, South Australia. For over 35 years, we have been a spiritual home for believers and seekers alike, committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving our community with His love.
As a Basic Religious Charity, our foundation is built on Biblical truth and Baptist heritage. We are part of the broader Baptist family in Australia and around the world, working together to fulfill the Great Commission and serve those in need.
Our church operates in South Australia and New South Wales, serving rural and regional communities with the message of hope, grace, and redemption found in Jesus Christ.
We believe the Bible is God's inspired Word and the foundation for all we believe, teach, and practice.
We gather to worship God in spirit and truth, celebrating His goodness and grace through prayer, music, and fellowship.
