We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“God’s plan for forgiveness was a perfect coming together of two of His most amazing attributes: His holiness and love. Though the holiness of God required He judge sin, in love, He chose to personally bear the cost of our rebellion for us.” —— theridge.church/messages

Our volunteers are the absolute best. @tcbradley23 and @LandonBradley22 are doing a great job leading the way! — Join the team at theridge.church/serve!

We know Christmas isn’t joyful for everyone. Message us and let us know how we can pray with you—you aren’t alone. ❤️

If you, or someone you know is in need of coats or winter accessories, stop by The Ridge lobby during Community Pick-Up Days! Free winter apparel that has been generously donated is available for those in need between 11am and 6pm Monday and Tuesday. Spread the word!

Gratitude involves two things: a realization or the seeing of some benefit received and second, the understanding that it was undeserved. — Let’s keep refocusing to see properly—to see what we have received. What are you grateful for today?

“Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 HCSB — Today, Pastor Tim challenged us to write down what we are grateful for—in a journal, a post-it… even on a pumpkin. If you missed his message, you can find it on the app!

We are ready for some more worship with you! Come and sing with us, and bring somebody! — Sunday at 9am + 11am // in-person + at home + online

Thank you to all of our healthcare workers. God, give health to those who are serving to keep us safe. Grant them peace, patience, and your strength to make it through each day. — Tag someone in the health field to let them know you are praying for them today.

Without Facebook or Instagram, now might be a good time to read Philippians 2:1-11. @YouVersion is still going strong 💪 😂

Pastor Tim kicked off a new series today, Finding Joy in Uncertain Times. As we work through the book of Philippians, each week we have a passage we are challenged to read, reflect, and respond to. — This week, read Philippians 2:1-11 📖

If you’re down from the WVU loss, we have the fix—come to church! Worship is going to be powerful tomorrow 🙌🏻 — 9a + 11a // in-person + at home + online

What an awesome day, loaded with stories of life change! — “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 HCSB — If you are interested in baptism, visit theridge.church/baptism

Join us as we pray over this group who are taking a step of faith this Sunday! Baptism Sunday is not one to miss! — Come celebrate with us in-person, gather with friends and family, or watch online at 9a or 11a live! theridge.church/live

Pastor Josh confessed he still watches VHS tapes today as he wrapped up the Relevant series. That may have shown his age a little, but the point he made is strong—our message will not change, but our methods of communicating it will. — Show of hands, who still owns a VHS tape? 🖐

Today we remember a tragedy, but we look forward with hope. Pray for peace for those affected 20 years ago—we ask for comfort those who lost loved ones; we honor and ask for blessing of our first responders who sacrificed so much; we long for this broken world to be made new.

A new devotional is available! Find this week's post and past devotionals at theridge.church/devo

Happy Labor Day! We hope today is filled with rest and time with family, friends, and loved ones.

Happy Birthday Pastor Tim ⁣ We are beyond grateful for your life, your example and for the way you lead our church in a growing relationship with God + others. ⁣Our church is grateful and we love you dearly! ❤️

“Help us to stand together and lean on one another during turbulent times.” — A new month means a new Prayer Plan, and this one is about reading, reflecting and responding. Today, take a moment and pray for those affected by the rain and respond to friends and neighbors in need.
