Here at Ridgedale our desire is to see college students meaningfully connect to Christ and His church by encountering Christ, equipping disciples, and engaging the nations.
We seek to be a community that disciples, supports, and encourages one another to grow in our relationship with Jesus while seeing those far from Jesus come into a personal, saving relationship with Him. We want our college students to leave with more than just a degree.
Listed below are some of the ways we’d love to connect with you through our weekly programming.
College Community Groups: Sundays at 10:00 am
Our College Ministry meets weekly on Sunday mornings at 10:00am in our college ministry room (between the two services) for Bible study, prayer, and community. We often break into smaller groups and explore God’s Word together. This fall, we’re working through A.W. Tozer’s classic The Knowledge of the Holy, spending fourteen weeks looking closely at who God actually is — his holiness, his sovereignty, his grace, and more. Our hope is that as we slow down to consider God’s character, we’d trade a small, manageable view of him for the awe and trust that come from knowing him rightly. We’re answering questions like, “Who is this God that we worship and serve? Why is He worthy of our worship and our lives? Why can we trust Him?” Afterwards, head in with your friends to either our traditional or Encounter (contemporary) services as we worship corporately as the Church!
College Men’s & Women’s Home Group Bible Studies: Beginning September 2, 2026
We are excited to relaunch our Home Group Bible studies on September 2! This fall, our guys’ and girls’ home groups are digging into Tyler Staton’s Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, an honest look at why prayer feels so hard and what it might look like to actually grow in it. Our hope is that we’d stop settling for talking about prayer and start practicing it together, in the middle of ordinary, busy lives. Home groups meet separately for guys and girls on Wednesdays at 7pm.
