We, the people of Riverview United Church, will strive to worship God through maintaining the Christian way of life by upholding the common beliefs of the United Church. We will help to provide leadership, service, fellowship, Christian Education, stability, and security in the life of the community.
Riverview is a smaller congregation of dedicated people trying to figure out how to be the church in a time of change. We are strong supporters of church camping and even used to run our own camp. THe people are friendly and are always willing to invite you to our next meal (we like to eat). Our multi-purpose space allows for a great variety of uses--from Sunday worship to floor hockey if you wanted!
About the Service
Our regular service is every SUnday at 10:30 am. WE have a small Sunday School that meets at the same time. Our services tend to be fairly "traditional" (whatever that means).
About the Neighbourhood
Atikokan is a town of just over 3000 people in Northwestern Ontario (2 hours West-South-West of Thunder Bay). Formerly a mining community, the base is now forestry and hydro generation. And of course the wilderness. Our town motto is "Canoeing Capital of Canada", lakes are all over the place and the fishing is grand. Quetico Provincial Park, a wilderness (no motorized access) area, is right on our doorstep.
