CURRENT SERIES


CURRENT MIDDLE SCHOOL SERIES
Is it possible to be humble like Jesus and be confident at the same time? Anchored in Jesus’s understanding of humility, this series encourages middle schoolers to occupy their God-given space in the world and to learn how to constantly weigh the tendency for entitlement and comparison against Jesus’s call to be humble, all while remaining confident in who they were created to be.

LARGE GROUP

Once a month, 9th through 12th graders meet together for fun, food, and connection. From fun hangouts like the Taco Bell Olympics to ways to practice living out an everyday faith like a worship night or serving event, these monthly gatherings are the perfect time for new students to check out Ridge High School and begin getting connected.
NEW THIS FALL – Large Group will be bigger, better, and more focused with two types of Large Group. Event nights will be all-out with more games and shenanigans. Other nights will be interactive experiences focused on topics that help us love, look, and live more like Jesus in our everyday lives.
FALL LARGE GROUP DATES | Sept. 8 & 15 - Oct. 20 - Nov. 3 - Dec. 1 & 15
*Come in through The Ridge's side door.

SMALL GROUPS

On non-Large Group weeks, high schoolers will meet with their small group. In a Ridge High School small group, students will find encouragement to pursue spiritual growth and healthy relationships. Small groups are a consistent group of 6-10 students and 2 adult leaders who are committed to hearing their students' stories, caring for, and valuing them. Groups will dive into a variety of topics related to life and faith. No matter where you are in your faith, small groups are meant to be safe place to find community and learn what it means to follow Jesus.
NEW THIS FALL – Students get to choose their small group! When it’s time to start a new small group series (approximately every 6 weeks), students will have 2-4 groups to choose from with each group connecting around a different topic. 
*Small Groups do not meet the week of Large Group. All RHS small groups meet at The Ridge's Greenfield Campus on Sunday nights, 6:30-8p.
