We believe that children aren’t just the church of tomorrow, but they are the church of TODAY!
Foundations Kids Ministry
It is Riverbend’s desire that every child would hear about, experience and understand the love of Christ. Foundations Kids Ministry strives to do that both through lessons and activities, to teach the kids about who God is; and also, through our intentions and interactions, to show them the love of Christ.

Welcome to Foundations!
Hey everyone and welcome to Riverbend Community Church. I am Amy and I serve as the Children’s Ministry Coordinator. It is a joy to be able to combine two of my passions, Jesus and teaching children! But I can’t do that alone!
As a team, our volunteers create an environment during Foundations that is full of love, learning, and provide opportunities for relationships to grow and develop. Our volunteers are fully background checked and come ready to engage, teach, and point our children to Christ on a Sunday Morning.
December Memory Verse
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.
Acts 16:31
GO! Curriculum
GO! Curriculum’s mission is to make the name of Jesus known to kids around the world by resourcing ministry leaders and parents with gospel-centered materials.
Our curriculums are rooted in the Bible because the Bible is the true Word of God. They’re easy to use because leaders and volunteers have it hard enough already. They’re interactive and fun because…well…kid’s love having fun! It’s a great way to engage them with the life changing message of Jesus.
Inclusive Sunday School
Riverbend is committed to making our church as a whole and our Foundations Kids Program more accommodating to those in our community with disabilities and special needs. Currently, we offer a floater buddy program in our Foundations Kids Program. Buddies are trained volunteers who are available to specially assist and care for children with special needs in the classroom.
