Care and Support @ Riverbend

Riverbend Church was founded as a place for healing, restoration, and recovery.

We recognize that everyone is at a different point on their life’s journey. If your journey has taken you to a place where you need someone to care, support, or just come alongside you on your way, we are here for you.

Pastoral Care

Funerals

Riverbend provides a unique place for loved ones to be remembered and/or memorialized. Whether it's a memorial service in our Smith Family Chapel or an intimate gathering in Remembrance Gardens, we are there to help you through this difficult time in your life. Remembrance Gardens offers a variety of ways to honor loved ones. You may select a place for the ashes of a loved one, devote space to memorialize a life, or simply come to reflect on life's passages.

Contact Martha for more info, or to reserve the Chapel or Fellowship Hall >
