Riverton Baptist Community Church

What Riverton Baptist Community Church does

Riverton Baptist Community Church Inc. is a non-profit, incorporated Baptist church association headquartered at 38 Modillion Avenue North, Shelley, Western Australia, operating under ABN 35831574769 and conducting business as 'Rivo' and 'RBCC'. The church is affiliated with Baptist Churches Western Australia and partners with Baptist Mission Australia, Baptist World Aid, Crossover Australia, Morling College, Overseas Christian Fellowship, and Youthcare Chaplaincy. Lead Pastor Wayne Field oversees a pastoral team of approximately eleven staff and volunteers across functions including Next Generation, Children's, Worship, Pastoral Care, Communications, Administration, and Facilities.

The church delivers ministry through two physical campuses — the primary 390-seat Shelley campus and a secondary 250-seat High Wycombe campus opened as part of a multi-site strategy — supplemented by a dedicated online streaming platform (rivo.online.church) broadcasting the 10:30am Sunday service. Programming spans the full demographic range: KidZone, Fri-Yay Hangz, Mainly Music, and Girls' Brigade for children; Rivo Youth Sundays and Youth Group for high-school students; Young Adults ministry, Life Groups, and Sunday Flow for young adults; Men's, Women's, and Seniors ministries; and International Friends and English Conversation Classes for multicultural and immigrant communities. The Alpha course, baptism services, Life Groups, and the Rivo Worship music ministry (debut album 'Renew' released 2024 on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube) form the spiritual-development backbone. Technology consists of standard church-management tools, a basic live-streaming stack, and social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify — no proprietary AI, ML, or platform technology was identified.

The revenue model is donation-led. Recurring tithes and offerings (via automatic direct debit) flow into a general fund supporting evangelism, discipleship, and pastoral care, while four designated streams — Rivo Care Fund, Global Missions, Building Fund, and the general fund — capture earmarked giving. A secondary commercial revenue stream comes from facility hire of auditoriums, halls, breakout rooms, kitchens, and AV equipment for community events, conferences, recitals, and celebrations. The church serves approximately 1,000 individuals weekly across both campuses and online, with a diversified long-tail donor base and no enterprise customer dependencies.
