Thank you for taking the time to find out more about Riverview Baptist Church and our community. Established in 1962. Riverview Baptist Church is located in the Prince William County city of Woodbridge, Virginia, about 30 miles south of Washington, D.C., just off Interstate 95. Woodbridge is one of the fastest growing communities in Northern Virginia. In the forty plus years since our beginning, we have witnessed hundreds of commitments to Christ. Our members have given over $4,000,000.00 to local, state and international missions. Since 1989, the Riverview Baptist Day School has ministered to and provided care for thousands of children in Northern Virginia. We hope that after you look through our website and attend one of our worship services you will consider becoming a more active part of our growing community of faith.
Led by Senior Pastor Dr. Michael D. Faulkner, Riverview Baptist Church offers many ministries for people of all ages and walks of life who are looking to strengthen their relationship with Christ. We are dedicated to sharing the wonderful message of the Gospel and equipping believers to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We encourage you to worship, fellowship and grow with us as a member, visitor or part of the community at large.

Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia
Born in 1996, the SBCV's conception occurred in a 1993 meeting of about 600 theological conservatives from across Virginia who founded the SBCV fellowship. The Fellowship remained in its former State Convention as a force for positive change, but labored in vain for a return to the convention's conservative theological moorings. On October 1, 1996, the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee recognized the SBCV as a fully cooperating, official state Baptist convention.
Since that time, God has richly blessed the SBC of Virginia. Scores of churches have been planted, thousands of people have trusted in Jesus Christ, dozens of missions trips in the U.S. and abroad have applied God's ministry globally, and laypersons of all ages and both genders have been equipped for His service.
