Here's What's Happening @ Ridgeview Church!

SKY RANCH FALL CAMP 2026 - SEPTEMBER 25-27
Registration is officially open for Sky Ranch Camp — Zero girl spots & 10 boy spots left! Sky Ranch is all about growing closer to God and building godly, lasting friendships — all while your kids experience the adventure of a lifetime. This year's camp theme is Serving Others — rooted in Mark 10:45, where Jesus reminds us that even He "did not come to be served, but to serve." Throughout the weekend, kids will discover what it looks like to follow Christ's example and serve those around them, both at camp and back at home. Between ziplines, hatchet throwing, swimming, kayaking, an indoor rodeo, campfire worship, and daily small group Bible studies out in nature, it's a weekend they won't forget. Pricing Campers: $250. We can't wait for your kids to experience Sky Ranch this year! Any questions please contact Jamie Menges - children@ridgeview.net REGISTER HERE

FIND A GROUP!
The church is not a place, name, building, or program; it is a gathering of people who love God. God has created every human being to desire deep relationships, and we understand God more fully when we are in community. Ridgeview Church is a growing church, but you don't need to be just another face in the crowd. If you want to meet people and grow in your relationship with God, we believe being a part of a Group or class is the best place for you. Find a group HERE today or stop by the Groups wall at church to learn more.

GIVE TO RIDGEVIEW CHURCH
God is generous and so He calls us to be as well. Giving our tithes and offerings reflects a grateful heart that wants to give back to God a portion of what He has given us; in reality, what is already His. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances. To give to Ridgeview Church, please click HERE.
