Adult Forum: Every Sunday at 9:15 a.m., a group of adults gather to discuss a variety of topics with a Biblical perspective. This group is led by Bob Odden who is open to suggestions for future discussion.

Keeping in touch! Eden is blessed to be able to help sponsor Jenifer Brown (please read her blog), a missionary to Japan! You can send an email to Jen if you'd like. She'd be glad to hear from you.

Eden Lutheran Church of Riverside, California was founded in 1888 as the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Eden Church. It is thought that the founding fathers incorporated the word "EDEN" into the church's name because of the area's fertile reputation.

Over 120 years later, Eden Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and serves the Riverside community and its members well. We proudly recognize that we are the second oldest, continually active congregation in the Pacifica Synod.

Our current sanctuary was completed in September, 1953, so we are nearing our 60th Anniversary on Brockton Avenue.

In 1986, Eden proudly began a community ministry focusing on education. The result was Eden Lutheran School, a preschool for children from ages 2 to 5 years.

Call to Worship
Three services are offered each Sunday morning:
The 8:00 a.m. Traditional Service celebrates communion each Sunday.
The 9:15 a.m. Praise Service features the Eden Praise Team. Communion is celebrated on the 1st Sunday of every month.
The 10:30 a.m. Family Service uses the new Evangelical Lutheran Worship and traditional music. Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. Whenever we have a month with five Sundays, worship is lead by our youth... it is always refreshing to enjoy their gifts!
