Riverside Porto International Church

Focused on Jesus Christ while caring for people

Imagine...

... a room with 20 - 50 people who represent at least 8 nationalities, sometimes more. This is what we call church.

imagine...

... being in the middle of the message when you are interrupted in mid-sentence to explain a word that someone, for whom English is their third language, did not understand - and being thrilled that they felt at ease to ask. This is what we call church.

imagine...

... that after the meeting, you don't go straight home but you stay and enjoy a cooked meal. If you come for more than a few weeks, you may even be asked to cook something. This is what we call church.

imagine...

... if the weather is especially nice, going down to the beach for a coffee and a walk along the boardwalk together. This is what we call church.

imagine...

... a place where you often seem to be saying goodbye to friends who move back to their countries of origin but at the same time have the frequent joy of meeting new people, who quickly become yet another person to join your family. This is what we call church.

imagine...

... a church where people are more important than doctrine and the grace of God is more important than rules and customs.  This is what we call church.

imagine...

... crèche in the dining room and children's church in a spare bedroom. This is what we call church.

You might be imagining our church...
