What’s Going on at Riverbend
Join the ladies of Riverbend for the spring Bible study beginning Wednesday, January 28th. They will be studying the book Our Father: A Study of the Lord's Prayer by Becky Harling. They will meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 7-8:30pm. If you are interested, please email Cheryl at cehdrh@yahoo.com
The women's walk and talk happens on the first Saturday of the month. Women of all ages and abilities gather at 8:50 a.m. in the church parking lot. Participants will depart the lot for an hour-long walk in the city at 9 a.m.. The walk will conclude back at the parking lot at 10 a.m. While exercise is one of the benefits of the walk, it is not the primary goal. The primary goal is to have conversation and to connect with one another. Getting steps in and gaining an awareness of the community around our church are additional benefits.
The Climb Youth Group’s aim is to be a place for Middle and High School aged students to be able to meet and gather at the church, to grow with one another, have meaningful connections with leaders, and seek to know God in a deeper way.
We meet once a month following a Sunday gathering from 12:30-2:30 PM. At these gatherings, we have lunch together, have a time of digging into our faith and God's word with a time of teaching and discussion, and of course play some outlandish games to get to know one another.
Contact Drew Dolan at drewjdolan@gmail.com with any questions.
Meet & Greet is an event designed to allow newcomers to meet some key leaders within our community, hear about our story and learn about specific ways to further connect with the Riverbend community.
Meet & Greets occur between our Gatherings at 10:15am.

Step away from the noise and join us for a women’s retreat, Finding Rest for Your Soul, led by Bethann Miller. Rooted in the timeless invitation of Jeremiah 6:16, this retreat is designed exclusively for women who attend Riverbend Community Church and offers space to slow down, reflect, and rediscover ancient, faith-filled paths to renewal. Come be refreshed in body and spirit through rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. Meals, housing, and bedding are all included, so you can simply arrive, exhale, and rest.
