Welcome RidgeKids
At River Ridge Church, RidgeKids exists to help kids CONNECT with Jesus, GROW in their journey with God, SERVE others, and GO tell friends and family.
From the moment you arrive, our team will be waiting at the First-Time Check-In station to welcome your family and help your child feel at home. To save time on Sunday morning, you can complete the New Family Pre‑Registration Form ahead of your visit. Check out service times and locations, and join us this Sunday!
“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.”
Psalm 127:3–4
Church + Home = Growing Faith
At River Ridge, we believe what happens at home is even more important than what happens at church. That’s why we partner with Orange Curriculum and Parent Cue—resources designed to help parents continue meaningful faith conversations throughout the week.
Through devotionals, take‑home tools, and simple conversation starters, families are equipped to build faith beyond Sunday. When the Church and Home come together, the faith of the next generation thrives.
The Orange Strategy aligns church leaders and parents around a timeless message—mobilizing kids to love God and serve others.
Our Heart for Kids
In RidgeKids (birth through 5th grade), our goal is to help every child take their next step with Jesus. We do this by building relationships, modeling Christ‑like lives, and teaching God’s Word in ways kids can understand—all within a fun, clean, and safe environment.
Below you’ll find information about our Sunday morning environments at the Teays Valley Campus.

RidgeKids Nursery & Preschool
Birth – Age 2
The RidgeKids Nursery is a clean, safe, and carefully staffed environment where your little ones are lovingly cared for while you attend worship. Even at this early age, children can begin to understand basic truths about God’s love.
Babies know when they are safe, secure, and genuinely loved—these are some of the first ways we demonstrate God’s love to them. Our nursery is divided into age‑appropriate rooms and follows strict adult‑to‑child ratios.
Age 2 – Preschool
When children move into our two‑year‑old nursery, they begin First Look, a curriculum that teaches three foundational truths:
- God made me
- God loves me
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever
Through simple lessons, crafts, worship songs, and Bible story videos, preschoolers are introduced to God’s Word in engaging and meaningful ways.
RidgeKids Elementary
Elementary‑age kids experience age‑appropriate large and small group environments designed to help them grow in their understanding of who Jesus is and how to follow Him. Through engaging Bible teaching, worship, and small group discussions, kids build friendships and begin to own their faith.
RidgeKids Buddies
RidgeKids Buddies provides one‑on‑one support for children with special needs so they can fully participate in our environments and learn how much Jesus loves them. Our goal is to create a welcoming, inclusive experience for every family.
