About Us

Maybe you are here because you are thinking about visiting us here at Riverbend. If so , “Welcome to our digital home.” Please feel free to poke around and get a feel for what we are like and what we believe. Riverbend is a community on a journey seeking to live the dreams and love of God in the way of Jesus. As part of this effort, we meet at 9500 Tecumseh Clinton Hwy in Tecumseh MI. While we use our facility for Sunday morning worship gatherings, Bible studies, meals and events, we are very aware that our community exists wherever the people of Riverbend find themselves. In this way, our Christian lives are not limited to what we officially do in our meeting space, but are expressed through our lives.

We are seeking to be a community living as a blessing of God in all the world. The people of our community are from varied backgrounds and perspectives, but find unity and commonality in seeking the things of God in this world, "as they are in heaven", in the expressions of Christianity. We welcome you to join us in person at any of our gatherings, meals or conversations. We invite you to look around our website and interact using email. We invite you to join with us in pursuing the dreams and love of God for the world in the way of Jesus.

Our Beliefs

Riverbend does not advance new teachings or doctrines. Instead, we seek to rediscover New Testament teachings and apply these age-old truths to our lives.

We believe:

  • God is our Father.
  • Jesus Christ is "the Word made flesh" for us.
  • The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Strengthener, and Guide.
  • The Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by Him.
  • A person receives forgiveness through repentance for sins and belief in Jesus Christ as Savior.
  • The mission of the Church is to communicate the promise of God to people everywhere.
