Join us for a beautiful evening at our Women’s Spring Banquet, Fearless & Faithful! This special night is designed to encourage and uplift women of all ages as we gather for a delicious dinner, meaningful connection, and inspiring teaching.

Our guest speaker, Kelly Carmichael Huffman, will share a powerful message about living boldly in faith and trusting God in every season. Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll leave refreshed, encouraged, and reminded of the strength found in a faithful walk with Christ.

Dinner is provided for $12. We’d love for you to join us—reserve your spot today!

Looking for a meaningful way to serve this summer?

Stefan and Beth Helm with Cru can set you up to help connect incoming freshmen students to Cru on their campus through Instagram.  Haven't used Instagram much?  That's ok. We can show you.  The work is easy, but the connections could help set students on a path of Christian growth at college.  We'll have a training to help you understand it all and get all set-up on Wednesday, May 6th at 7:45pm in the Conference Room at church.  The training should last less than an hour.

This is an informational meeting and then application takes place in the summer at your own pace! 

If you would like more help, June 3rd at 6:00 PM we will have a work night to answer any questions and work on it together!

Join us as we help receive and sort food donations for Powell Terrace Food Pantry! This is a great chance to serve our community in a hands-on way and help ensure families in need are cared for.

All ages are welcome to help with this event, but middle and high school students should be accompanied by an adult. All volunteers will meet at Powell Terrace.

Join us for an evening of food, fellowship, and friendly competition! Enjoy a potluck-style picnic from 5:00–6:00 PM, followed by softball from 6:00–8:00 PM. The picnic is open to the whole church—come eat, watch, or play!

If you plan to play, please sign up HERE by May 9th so teams can be organized.
(No sign-up is needed if you’re just coming to eat, watch, and enjoy the evening!)

Softball is open to able-bodied adults and teens ages 14+ (teens must have a parent playing; experience encouraged). For safety, no children are allowed on the field during games.

Please note:

• Parents/guardians must supervise their children
• Bring lawn chairs and your own drinks
• Limited outlets available—please bring food that doesn’t require electricity

We hope you’ll join us for a great night together!

STUDY OVERVIEW:
Inspired by the Kendrick brothers’ Overcomer movie and written by the #1 New York Times best-selling author team, Alex and Stephen Kendrick, comes an exciting new Bible study resource about discovering your God-given identity and embracing the wonder of who you were created to be. 

When you introduce yourself to someone for the first time, you have an opportunity to define yourself. You disclose your name, profession, and interests. These factors help our culture define us, but are those answers enough? People are struggling in ten thousand ways because of identity issues.    They can’t help but ask, who am I? and why do I matter? Can our culture really provide meaningful answers to those questions, or do we need something deeper and more significant?

Before asking, who am I? we need to be able to answer, who is God?  If we can’t answer the first question, we will never answer the second. The problem with our search for identity is that we are looking in all the wrong places. Scripture teaches that we are all made in the image of God. We do not define ourselves—the Creator does. Once those answers are clear, we can move forward and discover all God has called us to be. 

Would you like to learn or improve your English in a welcoming and friendly environment? 

We are offering weekly classes during the school year to help you with speaking, reading, and understanding English! In class, much of the time you will be practicing the things you are learning by talking with other students.

There is no cost for the class making this a great opportunity to improve your language skills! Whether you're a beginner or want to speak better English, these ESL classes are designed to help you succeed.

You can join ESL even if classes have started for the year.

Join our Prime Timers for a delightful potluck gathering every first Tuesday of the month at 10:30 AM. The event starts with singing hymns and a special speaker, followed by a potluck. After enjoying a meal together, the fun continues with engaging games and activities. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to connect, laugh, and enjoy the company of friends!

The Ridgecrest Women’s Book Club is a welcoming group for women 18 and older who enjoy Christian fiction. We read books spanning from Bible times to the present day.

Our meetings include a discussion of the monthly book, followed by fellowship time with a dessert provided by one member. Whether you loved, disliked, or didn’t read the book, you’re always welcome to join the conversation and enjoy the fellowship.

We post our annual reading list and send bi-monthly emails to keep everyone updated. Most members borrow books from the library, while others prefer to buy or use a Kindle.

Join us for a fun and meaningful evening of learning, sharing, and connection!

Join us for an inspiring monthly breakfast event filled with delicious food, meaningful fellowship, and a deepening of our faith.
