Hire Youth
From Aaron Johnsen,  Youth Director

To keep the cost of Summer Camp from deterring students from participation, the Youth Ministry seeks assistance from those willing to provide small work opportunities or scholarships.

We are looking for jobs suitable primarily for Middle School to younger High School youth (male/female).

The camp fees/expenses are $390 per student.

If you can assist, please contact me (672-1821 or click here.)
Comm Gps

You are invited to participate in one of Riverbend's 15 Community Groups, which meet regularly in homes for Bible study, discipleship, fellowship and/or outreach. For a list of the groups, meeting locations, leaders, etc., stop by the Welcome Center at the church.
