Bend is home to a diverse array of faith communities—ranging from longstanding historic churches to vibrant, contemporary fellowships. The city features traditional denominations like Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, and Disciples of Christ, alongside growing non‑denominational, evangelical, Pentecostal, and emerging church communities. Additionally, Bend supports Jewish (Temple Beth Tikvah), LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints), and holistic spiritual centers like the Temple of the Goddess. Many of these congregations embrace social justice, community service, and inclusive theology, reflecting the region’s progressive and outdoor‑oriented culture.

Worshippers in Bend can choose from large multi‑campus evangelical churches with dynamic programs (Youth, Kids, Community Outreach) to intimate, progressive congregations drawing from mainline traditions. Historic architectural gems like St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church—and its recent $3 million renovation finishing in April 2025—add cultural and aesthetic depth to the landscape. Rural spirituality also finds expression in pagan temples and liberal spiritual centers, highlighting the city’s spiritual pluralism.
