Who We Are

Whether you’re new to church, have been a Christian for many years, or are looking for a fresh start, you’re welcome here. Our hope is to give you a place where you experience a fresh, enjoyable connection to God and a community of people.

Our heart is simple and pure, we have one cry: Bend Me! This was the prayer that Evan Roberts prayed that gave birth to the Great Awakening. That mighty outpouring shook the whole world. Our fellowship is a group of hungry people who know there has to be more to God than just church as usual, so we pray “Bend Me, Bend The Church, and Bend the Nations!”

We keep our focus simple so we can have the biggest impact possible. Everything we do as a family is filtered through our focus on helping every person live the full life for which God created all of us.

OUR MISSION

The Bend is a Spirit-filled, soul-winning church connecting people to God’s Kingdom through teaching, worship, outreach and relationships.

AT THE BEND, WE DESIRE 4 THINGS FOR EVERYONE WHO COMES:

1. Find God

We believe God wants us to know Him personally! We don’t believe in just practicing religion, but having a deep, life giving relationship with God through His son Jesus. Our worship times are designed to facilitate this personal growth in God.

2. Find FREEDOM

Jesus came that we might have an abundant life – a life of freedom! People are designed by God to do life together; life is too hard to do alone. We want The Bend to be a place full of authentic people that you can be real with, a family that loves you as you are, but also challenges you to become everything you  have been created to be.

3. Find PURPOSE

We believe God wants us to know Him personally! We don’t believe in just practicing religion, but having a deep, life giving relationship with God through His son Jesus. Our worship times are designed to facilitate this personal growth in God.

4. FIND MISSION

We believe God wants us to know Him personally! We don’t believe in just practicing religion, but having a deep, life giving relationship with God through His son Jesus. Our worship times are designed to facilitate this personal growth in God.

We are so glad that God has led you to check us out. Now take the plunge, jump in and become a part of The Bend – WE NEED YOU!
