Welcome to RidgeKids!

We are excited to partner with you as your child journeys from birth through sixth-grade. We believe that you are your child's greatest influencer, and we consider it a privilege to team up with you.  Our purpose is to partner with parents and families to help kids know and grow in a relationship with Jesus. Our hope is that kids and families will take their faith to the Next Level as they learn to grow, serve, and share along the way.

Join us every Sunday morning for RidgeKids at 9:00 or 10:45

Check out what we are learning in RidgeKids and RidgeKids Jr. this month!

RidgeKids - People build their lives on all kinds of stories: Acing every test. Being the funny kid. Keeping the peace. Doing enough good things. But every single one of those foundations, alone, will crumble. The only safe story on which to build is the true story of a God who created us and loves us so much that when we turned away, God continued to pursue us.

God chose a people and promised through them to bless the whole world. And God fulfilled that promise by sending Jesus to rescue and redeem us. When we begin to understand this story and allow it to inform everything in our lives, we can live from a place of quiet confidence, knowing God is always with us and is able to work every single thing we face into a beautiful pattern for our good.

RidgeKids Jr. - There is power in a thankful heart! Consider when a heart focuses on what it does not have, it is discontent and unhappy. But when a heart focuses on being thankful for everything, it is content and joyful. Let’s choose a life of joy and give thanks to the Lord with our whole heart!

Check Out What Is Happening In RidgeKids

All 4th-6th grade students are invited to join us in the gym for our Next Level Small Group on Wednesdays from 5:30pm-7:00pm! Our Next Level GROW class will meet on Oct. 15, 22, 29, and Nov. 5

Our RidgeKids "Next Level" class series is designed to help kids go further in their relationship with Jesus than they would on their own. This four-week small group is called GROW and is the first in a three-part series. Kids will engage in Bible reading, prayer, and journaling during the once-a-week workshops with RidgeKids leaders. Kids benefit greatly when they commit to the class, attend each week, and engage in the homework. We will also send out information to parents on ways they can engage in the GROW class as well! It's going to be an opportunity you don't want to miss!

Kids Church

Every Sunday during 9:00 and 10:45 services we work to create a great experience for your kids to begin their journey with Jesus. We want them to love coming to church so much that they look forward to it all week!

  • RidgeKids Nursery is designed for parents to have an optional space to go with their newborns during services. You can find the nursery on the main level, just behind the Café.

  • RidgeKids JR meets in the early childhood wing on the lower level and is designed to meet the developmental needs of kids eighteen months through Kindergarten.

  • RidgeKids Church meets in the lower level gym for first through sixth-graders.

We take security very seriously so that you can rest easy, knowing that your kids are in good hands. Your children will be supervised and taught by background-checked volunteers who have been trained to follow approved policies and procedures. Our check-in system ensures that your children are released only to you (or to the people you designate).

NEW HERE? You can plan your visit and register your kids so you will be ready to go on Sunday morning! Text “Register for RidgeKids Sunday” to (360)552-7794.

RidgeKids Next Level Small Groups. Are your kids ready to go to the Next Level with Jesus? This fall, winter, and spring we are offering RidgeKids Next Level Small Group for kids 4th-6th grade. This group will help kids develop an authentic faith and make deeper connections as they learn to GROW - SERVE - SHARE their faith. We will meet at church one night a week from 5:30- 7:00 PM. To register, text “RidgeKids Next Level” to (360) 552-7794

Family Events. We sponsor many family events throughout the year. Watch for our Next Level events, sports ministry, Easter services, Camps/Vacation Bible School in June, and Fall Activities in October!

We want your family to enjoy quality time together however we can support that. Check the calendar for upcoming family events!

We believe that your kids will have the best possible adventure with Jesus when we (the Church) partner with you (their parents). We will help build their faith foundation in a fun environment every weekend, and then we will send them home with you to continue the discussion. That might sound a bit scary, but we are here to help! Every week we provide a “Parent Cue” to guide you to Read a Bible story with your kids, Discuss God’s truth and Pray with your kids.

Look for these familiar faces at RidgeKids Sunday Mornings and Events!
