Beyond Measure

One Heart
One Mind
One Passion
One Covenant

I like to think vision is the catalyst that transforms possibilities intro realities. River Bend has continued to grow and is experiencing growing pains.  This is a wonderful problem to have.  God is blessing us and we need to make room for the blessings.  Our Captial Campaign, Beyond Measure, has taken the first step in our expansion program.  On March 4, 2012 we recieved our pledges and on March 25, 2012, we recieved our Firstfruits offering.  Our next step is for the building committee to determine how much of our expansion can be realized and when we can begin the expansion.

River Bend’s Mission Statement: A Great commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will build a Great church. We have been living out this mission statement for ten years.  Our ministries support this mission statement.  We hope you will catch our vision and apply it to our mission statement in a personal and practical way.
