The Riverside Church Archives, in collaboration with Ancestry.com, has digitized a subset of our membership records and made them available online for genealogical research.
The record set is comprised of Member Lists, Marriage Records, and Death Records spanning from 1841 to 1945, including not only Riverside records, but those of its predecessor churches: The Norfolk Street Baptist Church, The Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and The Park Avenue Baptist Church.
