Christmas at The Ridge

Whether it's a hand-picked gift from a loved one, or a gag gift from an office party, every gift tells a story. They're valuable and important because they're meant just for us. And one gift meant so much it changed the course of history. The story of this gift is the greatest story ever told, and is worth sharing this holiday season. 

Join us December 7-24 for our series, “The Gift That Keeps on Giving.” We'll see you Sunday mornings at 9:30 & 11am, online or in-person. 

 



Christmas Eve at The Ridge

Join us on Wednesday, December 24 as we celebrate Christmas Eve. We'll have three identical services at 2:30pm, 4:00pm, and 5:30pm (online and in person). All service times will have childcare and children's programs for infants through 6th graders.
