Press Release: Easter in the City

For the past two years, the congregations of Riverside Community Church and St. Paul Baptist Church have come together to celebrate Easter at the Peoria Civic Center.   Individuals from all walks of life have been blessed by the Easter in the City celebration.  Riverside Community Church and St. Paul Baptist Church are currently focusing on having a long term impact in the City of Peoria; therefore, Easter in the City will not be held this year.  Pastor Hubbard and Pastor King have enjoyed a wonderful working relationship and they are currently working on exciting opportunities for the future. 

This year, the community will have the opportunity to celebrate Easter by attending any one of six services that will be held at Riverside Community Church and St. Paul Baptist Church. Pastor Hubbard and Pastor King stated that, “Easter is a day for Christians to rejoice and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we are excited to be able to offer six options for the community to attend an Easter service.”    


The service schedules are as follows:

Riverside Community Church:

March 22 – 6PM                       

March 23 – 9AM and 11AM.       


St. Paul Baptist Church

March 23 -- 7:30AM, 9:30AM, 11:30AM

Both churches are designing unique Easter programs, and this new approach will give the community the chance to attend services at both churches.

February 9th Service MOVED!

If you come to Riverside on February 9th, you won't hear our regular services!!  We've moved that night's service to the Gateway Building downtown (where Hamilton Blvd. meets Water St.).  A local organization had booked our auditorium for their annual "Monster Concert", and we've decided it's only best for us to honor that reservation.  Their reservation has been on our calendar since before we initiated Saturday night services!

So if you're a Saturday night attendee, we'll see you at the Gateway Building on February 9th at 6:00 PM!
