Riverview Church Survey

Riverview Church Survey

We'd love for everyone in the our community to have their voice heard. This survey helps us pay attention to the people of Riverview Church. It won't necessarily capture every individual story, but it will provide us with a valuable snapshot of our wider community. Occupations, family-make-up, faith, practice, perspectives and your lived experience. This information will help shape how we lead, where we put our energy, and how we care for you. We invite every adult who calls Riverview home, to complete this survey before 10 November 2026. Each individual response will be held in confidentiality.

I believe that science and scripture are fundamentally at odds
I believe that hell is a real place where some people will be separated from God forever
I believe that God in his sovereignty decides who will be saved; humans have no real agency.
I believe that Christians should be involved and invested in political debates and issues
I believe that caring for the poor and socially marginalised is an important part of following Jesus
I believe that God is concerned about all creation, and caring for the earth is a responsibility for all Christians
I believe that following Jesus means my love and loyalty to him reorders my deepest desires; shaping how I ought to spend my time, money, and attention
I believe that supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit (tongues, healing, miracles) are available to believers today
I believe that being part of a gathered, worshipping community is core to following Jesus; faith isn't meant to be lived alone
