WELCOME TO RIDGEKIDS
We help kids CONNECT with Jesus, GROW in their journey with God, SERVE others, and GO tell friends and family.
Our team will be waiting at the first-time check-in station, where you can tell us a little about your family. To prepare ahead of time, you can fill out the New Family Pre-Registration Form. Check out times and locations to join us for a Sunday service.
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Psalm 127:3-4
While most of what takes place in the context of the church environment, the segments aren’t finished. At River Ridge Church, we believe that what happens at HOME is more important than what happens at church. We partner with Orange Curriculum and Parent Cue to offer families all sorts of ways to continue at home the conversations started at church. These resources include devotionals and parent take-home resources with questions.
When the Church and Home come together, the Faith of the next generation thrives!
The Orange Strategy aligns leaders and parents to create community around a timeless message that mobilizes the next generation to love God and serve others.
In RidgeKids (birth through 5th grade) our goal is to help our children take their next steps with Jesus by building relationships with them, being examples for them, and teaching them God’s Word. You'll find information below on each of our areas of family ministry for your kids where we share Jesus with them in a fun, clean, and safe environment.

RidgeKids Nursery & Preschool
The RidgeKids Nursery is for children from birth through 2 years old. It is a clean, safe, and carefully staffed place where your children will be well cared for while you attend the worship service. We believe that basic truths can be understood even at this early age.
Babies know when they are safe and secure. They know when they are being genuinely loved and respond to comfort. We think these are the earliest ways to demonstrate God’s love to them. The RidgeKids nursery area is divided into age-appropriate rooms adhering to a safe adult-to-child ratio.
When children are promoted to the two-year nursery, they begin a curriculum called First Look. They have simple lessons each week that teach them that God loves them, God made them and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. Simple crafts, fun worship songs, and Bible story-teaching videos allow even our young children to learn about God’s word and his plan for their lives.
RidgeKids Elementary
RidgeKids Elementary is our small group environment for k-5th grade. Kids experience worship, scripture memorization, and biblical teaching in small groups. Most of their time is spent in their Small Group, which gives them the benefit of a consistent Group Leader and interaction with kids their age. Together, they learn about the Bible and how to have a relationship with God, memorize Scripture, and have fun developing friendships with each other.Service Experience:
- Engaging in Praise and Worship
- Age-specific learning
- Making friends in their grade level
- Consistent small group leader
- Memorizing God’s Word
RidgeKids Buddies
RidgeKids Buddies is our Special Needs Ministry, which exists to share the love of Christ by assisting individuals needing special accommodations and their families in becoming full participants and contributors in the body of Christ.
Our goal is to integrate the children into an age-appropriate RidgeKids experience with the right level of assistance.
