Where Women Grow in Christ Together
You were created with purpose, and our heart is that you fully know your value and worth in Jesus. Ridge Women exists to create meaningful spaces where women can connect authentically, grow spiritually, and take intentional steps forward in their walk with Christ.
Through short-term groups and Bible studies, uplifting gatherings, and genuine sisterhood, we cultivate an environment where women can engage Scripture, build lasting relationships, and find encouragement for everyday life. Here, you’ll be supported as you grow in faith, share your story, and live out God’s calling.
We would love for you to join us and experience a welcoming community that inspires faith, connection, and purpose.

Mom Connect
Mom Connect is a group devoted to encouraging and supporting moms of young children. Raising little ones is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be challenging and sometimes isolating. Mom Connect is a place to find connection, encouragement, and support as we walk alongside one another in motherhood. It truly takes a village—and we want to be that village for you!
This group is primarily for moms with children from infancy through age five, but we also love and welcome mentor moms (moms with older kids) and expecting moms!
We’ll meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with our new semester starting September 9th.
Want to learn more about Mom Connect? Come to our Open House Wednesday August 26th at 10am!

This group is sermon-based, with the goal of knowing and applying God’s Word through discussion and connection with other women.

Ridge Women Study Groups
Soul Care
An early morning women’s group combining a bodyweight group workout with a book study through Soul Care by Debra Fileta. Meeting in Winfield.
What does this group look like?
We will meet (at my house) in Winfield from 7-9am on Wednesdays for 7 weeks starting July 8.
There will be chapters to read from the book Soul Care by Debra Fileta prior to each group meeting. We’ll start each week with discussion of the book and applicable biblical truths, then move into a 30 to 40 minute workout time.
Workout styles will vary each week, can be completed using bodyweight or light weights, and will be modifiable for all levels. We will share truths to fuel our souls as well as food to fuel our bodies as we continue to become the best version of who God created us to be.
Bring your own coffee, water and mat.

Breath of Life Yoga – Summer
Summer Series – The Body of Christ
Breath of Life is a bring-your-own-mat, guided silent flow movement series. These are beginner level, low-impact sessions that last approximately 45 minutes.
Each session, we begin with a scripture-based intention and move through gentle, breath-centered poses set to music. Aside from music, the experience remains silent—creating space to connect with your breath and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Join us this summer for a 6-week, Christ-centered journey focused on breath, movement, and body awareness. Each session highlights a different area of the body, guiding you into deeper rest, strength, and spiritual renewal.
✨ New this year: We are transitioning from a year-long rolling class to seasonal series experiences.
We would love to have you flow with us this Summer!

Hebrews: The Nearness of King Jesus
JESUS: OUR ACCESSIBLE KING
The Book of Hebrews highlights two contrasting realities. Jesus is supreme yet approachable. Without losing an ounce of depth, Lisa makes Hebrews accessible too. Join her in this 7-session study as she gets to the heart of the matter: Jesus is an up-close Redeemer. Hebrews: The Nearness of King Jesus will help you engage and treasure the Book of Hebrews as you draw near to the approachable Savior.

Goliath Must Fall
How do we overcome those battles in our lives that we always seem to be fighting? Learn to overcome the “giants” in your life—the fears and insecurities that keep you from reaching your full potential.
It’s likely you have a threatening giant in your life: an adversary or stronghold that’s diminishing your ability to live a full and free life. Frozen in the grip of rejection, fear, anger, or addiction, we lose sight of the promise God has for our lives. Demoralized and defeated, we settle for far less than his best.
In Goliath Must Fall, pastor Louie Giglio uncovers a newfound twist in the classic story of David and Goliath. It is not God’s plan for you to live with a giant standing in the middle of your life, demoralizing you day after day. Our freedom and God’s glory are forever interwoven into one story. God does want us to live free. He wants us to recognize that He’s already killed the giant.

Abide
How can we hold onto assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us?
In three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3, John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth.

Forgiving What You Can’t Forget
You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to you.
Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can’t go on like this, but you don’t know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving people who aren’t willing to make things right.

Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
The life of a woman today isn’t all that different from the lives of Mary and Martha in the New Testament. Like Mary, you long to sit at the Lord’s feet . . . but the daily demands of a busy world just won’t leave you alone. Like Martha, you love Jesus and really want to serve him . . . yet you struggle with weariness, resentment, and feelings of inadequacy.
Then comes Jesus, into the midst of your busy life, to extend the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters from Bethany. Tenderly, he invites you to choose “the better part”—a joyful life of intimacy with him that flows naturally into loving service.
With her fresh approach to the familiar Bible story, Joanna Weaver shows how all of us, Marys and Marthas alike, can draw closer to our Lord: deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.
