The service begins with about 20-25 minutes of modern Christian worship music. You may sing, stand, or simply observe.
After the music, a pastor teaches from the Bible for about 40 minutes. The teaching is honest, practical, and designed to be understandable even if you are unfamiliar with the Bible.
The service concludes with weekly communion and the singing of the Doxology.
The full service lasts about 75 minutes.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT RIDGE CHURCH
Here are some real reviews from Google and Facebook
The people at the Ridge are authentic and understand that none of us are perfect and all of us need to be loved and belong. At the Ridge, it's okay to not be okay, but you don't have to stay that way. If you are looking for a modern, upbeat, gospel-centered church that believes in loving people rather than judging them, the Ridge just might be the place for you.

Best church in town. Really fell in love when I looked over their website, and I thank God for giving me such a great church.

Two of the biggest reasons I like attending Ridge Church is because the pastors and teachers are real, they speak about their own fault or past sins so you know they are just like you, human! The other reason is because everyone is welcome at Ridge Church, regardless of your current situation in life, regardless of the color of your skin, regardless of your appearance, regardless of your mistakes both past and present. This is exactly how Jesus treated and does treat others.

Real people who are REALLY trying to follow Jesus, not just offer lip service. Welcoming people to join them, too. I love these guys.
