We know that life was not meant to be done alone. We believe churches aren’t made to live alone either.

Our aim is to multiply and equip Gospel-centered churches in the Lehigh Valley area and beyond.

In order to effectively reach the least, the lost and the lonely, we need hundreds of mighty churches, all working together toward the same goal. God has used Riverbend tremendously to reach many in our city with the gospel of Jesus Christ. However, there is more work that lies ahead of us - and we cannot tackle it alone.

Riverbend works closely with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) to accomplish this vision, through our partnership with the Send Network.

Additionally, we believe that Riverbend has a vital role to hep provide relationships, development, coaching mentorship and other resources across this network. We are grateful to be the Multiplying Church of the Lehigh Valley in partnership with the Baptist Resource Network.

Check out the other churches Riverbend has specifically partnered with as we seek to make disciples and plant more churches:

  • The Vine Calvary Chapel

    The Vine Calvary Chapel exists to:

    WIN people into a relationship with Jesus. BUILD them up in their faith using God’s Word and SEND them out as disciples who make disciple makers.

  • Mission Vida

    Mission Vida is a Spanish church plant that will be gathering on Sundays at 1:00PM at Riverbend. They will be starting with the Discovery Bible Study and book of John.

    Every first Sunday of the month, Mission Vida gathers in the Sanctuary for a Spanish Service and celebrating the Holy Supper as well. The hope is to hold a Spanish service every Sunday once core leadership is developed and a good number of people attend regularly.
