We value the scriptures as God's revealed word to use, His creation.  For this reason, the family values at Riverbend Community Church are gathered first from what we see in scripture, and second, from the passions God has given us through his Holy Spirit.  These are the ways we seek to live out God's passions:

• Impact the Community--Acts 2:47; Phil. 2:14-16
• Live Biblically--II Timothy 3:16-17; Romans 15:4; Galatians 5:6
• Grow in Faith--Philippians 3:12-14; Colossians 2:6-7; Hebrews 11
• Worship Passionately--John 4:23-24; Romans 12:1; Colossians 3:16-17
• Connect Culturally--Galatians 5:13-14; Acts 17:16-34
• Partner Authentically--Romans 15:5-7; Ephesians 5:21; Hebrews 10:24-25
• Seek God--1 Corinthians 15:1-5; Deuteronomy 4:29; Matthew 6:33
• Promote Justice--Hebrews 6:10, 13:15-16; James 1:27; I John 3:18
• Be Creative--Genesis 1
• Empower People--II Timothy 2:2; I Thessalonians 5:11
