Who We Are

About Riverbend

Launched on September 13, 2009, Riverbend Community Church has grown from a handful of people meeting in a hotel off Airport Rd with a vision to live for Jesus and love the Valley, to a church of a couple hundred members meeting in our own church building in Bethlehem; carrying out that same vision throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond.

Named “Riverbend,” based on the Lehigh riverbend between Allentown and Bethlehem - how fitting is it that we have had our church home in both cities. This river serves as a visual representation of our mission — just as it flows through the valley, it’s our desire to “flood” the Lehigh Valley with the living water of Jesus. 

For the past 15+ years we have had the privilege to be in and for the Valley at our Roble Road location in Allentown. We are excited to see where God leads us at our new church home at 81 E North Street in Bethlehem and invite you to join us on this journey!
