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. in the month of September with our Fall Launch!
RidgeKids - Kids and families need wisdom to face difficult decisions every single day. How many times recently have you heard a celebrity or influencer promote “you do you” or “live your truth”? Though it’s true God has created each of us with unique gifts and desires, it all falls apart if we don’t seek wisdom from God in everything we say and do. Our world is all about popularity, appearance, and intelligence, but in God’s kingdom, wisdom is of far greater value. Jesus showed us perfectly what a wise life looks like: stay connected to God and seek God’s best in every circumstance. Then follow through and do it!
RidgeKids Jr. - Deep down, everybody wants to be a super kid, and nothing defines super kid better than the word ‘brave.’ Being brave is a lot easier to say than do—for preschoolers and grownups. What we do to be brave—and Who can help us be brave—is what this month is all about. We can pray, like Esther, and be brave. We can remember that God is with us, like David, and be brave. We can trust what God says, like Gideon, and be brave. And when we pray, remember, and trust, God can help us be brave so we can help others, like Abigail.
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).

Life with Jesus is an awesome adventure!
Kids Church - We are having in-person services and we have three options for you and your kids. Everyone in your family can experience RidgeKids in-person on Sundays at 9:00 or 10:45 AM or at our Spanish service Saturday night at 7:00 PM.
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!
