Worship
Congregations and their houses of worship are important to the lives of Richfield residents. Some have existed for over 150 years, while other fairly new congregations represent the changing culture of our area. Several of our 20+ congregations share their buildings with ethnic groups or have separate non-English language services – a reflection of a community that is friendly and welcoming. Whatever your religious preference, you are sure to find a place of worship nearby.
Community Organizations
A wide array of community service organizations are alive and well in Richfield.
They keep Richfield a very caring and livable city for both the young and old. Richfield Rotary Club continues to be a strong asset to our community and the Richfield Optimist Club celebrates 50 years in 2008, while continuing to “Bring Out The Best In Kids.” New avenues of service through the Lions Club have started in the past year. Others, like Richfield Visions and the Richfield 4th of July Committee support our major celebrations and events. Each of our organizations contributes to keep Richfield the best place to live, work and raise a family.
