CURRENT SERIES

ANYTHING GOES | A series about following Jesus and navigating freedom
The teenage years mark the beginning of more personal independence and freedom. So the question is: What are teens supposed to do with all this newfound freedom? In this series, we’ll explore the answer by looking at the history of freedom in Scripture and how following Jesus can change how we view and use our freedom for the good of God, ourselves, and others.

LARGE GROUP

Once a month, 9th through 12th graders meet together for fun, food, and connection.

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 2-3 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.
*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.

TABLE OF CONTEXT | A Teenager’s Guide to Understanding Ancient Words for Modern Times
Complicated. Long. Conflicting. Outdated. Contradictory. When it comes to the Bible, you’ve probably heard all that and more from your students. How can they begin to make sense of the Bible? What is it? How does it work? And why does everybody say it’s helpful when it doesn’t always feel that way? In this series, we’ll take a closer look at the documents that make up the Bible, why so many people trust them, how we can use them, and why we believe that context is key to connecting the ancient words of Scripture to modern times.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Confetti cannons + Party snacks + Camp-vibes worship + Baptisms + Stories of life change = Best night of the year.
We're throwing a massive party to celebrate the life change God has made this school year, and we can't wait to celebrate with many students as they take the step to get baptized. If your student has made the decision to follow Jesus at any point in their life and hasn't yet been baptized, now's the time.
*Friends and family of those being baptized are encouraged to join us for this celebration.

We're heading to the Dominican Republic to partner with local churches through Eastern Dominican Christian Mission. We hope that students will better understand what the Kingdom of God is like. By seeing what it looks like to follow Jesus in a different country and culture, pushing themselves outside of their comfort zone, and using their God-given skills to be a part of the work God is doing in the local Dominican Republic churches, each student's faith will become real to them in new ways.
*Trip is open to students who have completed 9th - 12th grade
