Riverside, Texas
Rev. Warren Austin, Pastor
I just love this beautiful, old church and the people in it. I am not a member of Riverside United Methodist Church. My membership is at the church next door. However, I do consider Riverside Methodist part of my church family. We enjoy combining our small choirs to provide the community with special music at Christmas and Easter. Together we hold a sunrise service every Easter and the two pastors alternate their roles. One year the Riverside Methodist pastor preaches and the Baptist preacher opens us up in prayer. The next year it's just the opposite. The annual sunrise service is held around the Gazebo behind the Riverside Methodist Church.
Different churches working along side one another, is a blessing of living in a small town.
Reverend Warren Austin is the pastor at Riverside United Methodist Church. He is also a volunteer firefighter at the Thomas Lake Road Volunteer Fire Department. I have had the privilege of knowing Warren and Ann Austin ever since I moved to the Riverside area back in 1994 and am proud to call them friends.
If you are looking for a church family to become a part of, consider visiting one of our great churches located right here in Riverside. There is no need to drive in to Huntsville for church when you have 4 perfectly good churches right in your own home town!
