02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
River Church Elgin exists to advance the Christian faith by worshipping God, making disciples, and serving our community. We do this through regular worship services, biblical teaching, prayer, pastoral care, and various ministries. We also share the good news of Jesus Christ through outreach, partnerships with other churches and community organisations, charitable activities, and mission work both locally and internationally. Our aim is to meet the spiritual, emotional, and practical needs of people while demonstrating the love of Christ and strengthening our community. This reflects Jesus' command to 'go and make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19–20) and to 'love your neighbour as yourself' (Mark 12:31).
