SUNDAY MORNINGS
We value biblical instruction.
The Bible is the very written word of God, the final authority for our lives, sufficient to show us who He is and who we are to be. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Isaiah 40:8.
Join us for 50-minutes of in-depth Relevant Instruction, Doctrine, & Guidance to Equip Believers for Life–RIDGE classes–for adults, youth, and children down to 18 months.
If you had to stand in front of a Roman Emperor and deny the Trinity to keep your life, would you? Is the fact that God exists in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) that big of a deal? This class will look at how the church understood its importance, why it still matters and what the practical implications are behind it today.
No prior theological knowledge is required! All you need is an open mind and a willingness to engage with complex biblical ideas. This is part of our ongoing RIDGE series called “The Stage of Truth: The Theology Program.”
The Spirit tells us in Acts 13:22 that David was a man after God’s heart. David’s psalms are poetic expressions of this heart. And in Matthew 12:34-35, Jesus tells us that from our heart come our words and deeds. In this class Bill Parker will lead us in a devotional study applying David’s psalms to our hearts in the context of business and workplace leadership as he shares his 20 years of devotional application of David’s psalms to his own heart, as reflected in his book, Business After God’s Heart. Opportunities will be provided for personal follow-up related to specific spiritual challenges in business.
RIDGE Kids Classes
A safe, fun time of childcare with a rotation of BRBC teachers and helpers.
This class is going thru a rotation of ALL the main Bible stories, plus a fun play and singing time! Our amazing BRBC member Jodi Benedict will continue as your 4&5 year olds teacher.
Parents, we’re using the Gospel Project to come alongside you and reinforce teaching your children the Bible. The Gospel Project is more than a story – it’s good news! Through the weekly Sunday morning lessons, kids will be immersed in the gospel through every story, theological concept, and call to mission from Genesis to Revelation. Kids will begin to understand the Bible is not just a collection of stories, but one unified story—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ.
1st-2nd are taught by our amazing BRBC member, Nellie Elliott, and helpers.
3rd-5th are taught by our amazing BRBC members, Matt & Kelly Armes
RIDGE Youth Classes
Fun, fellowship and a growing confidence to study the Bible in community and on your own. We will have fun together, share prayer requests – but our main goal for this hour is to learn skills that build our confidence to understand God’s Word.
Our middle schoolers are led by amazing facilitators who deeply care about loving these students and helping make their faith their own. Middle School will be led by BRBC member Lori Horner and focus on the theme “Learn to Ask Questions like Jesus.”
Are you a question asker? Did you know that questioning is one of the ways that Jesus built relationships? This winter, we will explore the questions Jesus asked. We will look at the responses he received and how he engaged with people through questions. Together, we will learn to ask questions like Jesus as we strengthen our relationship with God and His Word.
We are using the Interlocked Bible study curriculum which integrates the Genesis-to-Revelation narrative, doctrine and apologetics for believers to live as thriving disciples of Christ. Some of the class objectives include:
- Build a framework for explaining and defending the faith.
- Understand the gospel from a broader perspective.
- To show who God is through an enlarged vision of Him as revealed in Scripture.
- Allow the Bible to interpret the world.
- Show the Bible’s metanarrative.
