Vision & Values

At Ridge Church our vision is that our city would know Jesus.  This means that we want those who are part of our church to know and be known by Jesus.  It also means that we want to share the hope and life that we have through Jesus with the world around us and invite them to consider the claims of Jesus and to join us in following Him.  

This is a mission that we invite everyone who is part of Ridge Church to participate in.  If you want to know more about our mission and vision consider taking our Church Essentials class. (link) [Note: this class isn't on the website yet, so maybe we need to leave this sentence off for now.] 

Thanks.  Also, below this we want to keep our list of values.  However, they are formatted wrong.  The space shouldn't be between the heading and the point but between the sub point and the next main point.

   that our city would know Jesus

• Life Transformation

• We seek to grow more like Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in every area of our lives (Philippians 2:13)

• Submission to Scripture

• The Bible is our ultimate rule of faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16)

• Prayerful Dependence

• We value prayer because we acknowledge that ultimately it is through the work of God that His ministry is accomplished (Psalm 127:1)

• Life of Worship

• We value worship both when we gather (through singing, giving, hearing the Word and serving) as well as when we scatter, understanding that all of our life should be an act of worship (Colossians 3:17)

• Commitment in Community

• We value community, with all of the joys and challenges that come with it, as being one of the primary ways through which God shapes us and forms us and uses us (1 Thessalonians 2:8)

• Generous Living

• Because Christ has given so freely to us, we gladly give back to Him generously of our time, talents, and treasures (2 Corinthians 9:11)

• Sharing the Gospel

• We value telling the good news of Jesus Christ to people in the world around us (Matthew 28:18-20)
