It’s Riverbend’s birthday! We are looking forward to celebrating another year of ministry with you on September 26th. Wear your favorite sports attire, bring a dish to share (sign up here) and get ready to celebrate all that God has done this year.
This year we will meet at a new location: Bethlehem Township Municipal Park located at 2900 Farmersville Rd, Bethlehem, PA 18020. We will be at the first pavilion when you enter the park, furtherest from the community center. We are keeping an eye on the potential storm and will communicate if anything changes.
Help us get a quick headcount by using this link and hitting "register" to let us know how many from your family are attending!
*We will have normal gatherings (9am and 11am) at 81 E North St on Sunday.
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.
You can register HERE.
This fall, we’re bringing together the East and West Men’s Breakfast tables for one evening of food, fellowship, and celebrating all God has done in our community.
Join us Friday, October 2 from 5:30–10:00 PM at Steve Klase’s home. Families are welcome! Hot dogs and buns will be provided, and we’re asking everyone to bring a favorite food or snack to share. We’ll have yard games, plenty of time to connect, and just enjoy being together.
Join the ladies of Riverbend for our 3rd annual retreat to Camp Orchard Hill in Dallas, PA for the Alive Women’s Retreat. Enjoy a weekend of rest, spiritual refreshment, deep friendships and wonderful food…with the perfect touch of outdoor adventure!
The speaker this year is Laura Gaines. She will be speaking on Known and Loved: Embracing Your God-Given Identity.

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 worship team is looking to continue growing our worship ministry. Worship tryouts will be held on Tuesday, October 6th from 6:30-8:00 pm. If you are looking to get involved in our worship ministry, please sign up for tryouts by filling out this form or e-mail Emily Price at emily@riverbendonline.org by Sunday, September 20th.
The Open Table will be hosting a Costume Party Friday October 9th from 6:30-9:00pm. The Open Table is a monthly social for adults with special needs. The event is always looking for volunteers to help with set up and clean up - as well as volunteers to just hang and have a fun time with our guests. We also are in need of snack and baked good donations for the event.

Are you exploring faith? Perhaps, new to a relationship with Jesus? Maybe you’ve already taken steps like baptism? Wherever you are, we want to help you on your journey with Jesus. We’ve created a New Believer Class between services on select Sundays to help support and further equip you.
Classes meet in the Family/Sensory Room behind the Cafe.
Join us for a fun filled afternoon of fellowship, games and prizes at our Bingo and Basket Raffle Fundraiser on October 17th! Your support will enable Riverbend Community Church to host our 11th annual Lehigh Valley Night To Shine, a truly unforgettable prom experience for our guests with special needs and their families. We are so grateful for your support! Please visit our website or reach out to Laura Coates at laura@riverbendonline.org for more details.
Riverbend 101 is an in-depth look into Riverbend’s beliefs, culture, and ultimate heartbeat.
This 60+ minute class is designed for those who are in step with Riverbend’s vision and are ready to take the next step toward church membership.
In this class, we’ll explore what it means to be a committed part of the Riverbend community — not just as an attendee, but as a vital member of the body of Christ. We’ll unpack how membership provides clarity, accountability, belonging, and a shared call to live out the gospel together.
You’ll learn how Riverbend views biblical community, spiritual growth, leadership, and the mission we’re called to as a church family.
Lunch is provided. Child care is provided upon request. Please register HERE.
Join us in-person Sundays at 9 AM & 11 AM
Join us online LIVE at 11 AM on Youtube
Parking is available in the lot across Center Street from the church building. Additional parking is available On-street and at the Walnut St and North St parking garages (all are FREE on Sundays - time limits do not apply)
