Missions

In Matthew 28:18-20, the Great Commission tells us to go and make disciples. In Acts 1:8, we are told that we will be witnesses for Christ in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth. When you put these two passages together, you have our heart regarding missions. We want to minister to people locally, regionally, and globally. To speak to a leader of the a Riverbend ministry, please contact the church office using e-mail or telephone. 

Missional Community


We believe the church is the family of God called to live on mission to advance His Kingdom. Because we are God's children through Jesus, we are to live as brothers and sisters. The church is not a building, place, or program, but God's people.


Living in community with one another is essential to growing in the Gospel and becoming more like Christ. Showing up to a Sunday gathering is great, but it is our desire to see everyone involved in a Missional Community. A Missional Community is not a mid-week program, but a family of missionary servants who are making disciple-making disciples daily. We would love to see all of our Missional Communities hanging out throughout the week, eating meals together and serving their neighborhoods. It is not something you check off a list, but a way of doing life.


Currently, we have seven Missional Communities and are multiplying continually.



AND LET US CONSIDER HOW WE MAY SPUR ONE ANOTHER ON TOWARD LOVE AND GOOD DEEDS. LET US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER - AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.

Hebrews 10:24-25
