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.

January 5 - March 9 (10 weeks)
Parenting: It's not what you think it is
Facilitators: David & Chris McKenzie

Join veteran parents the McKenzies for a 10-week class to help equip you with God’s grace as you parent and seek to disciple your children. 

From the Paul David Tripp website: Many moms and dads are exhausted, discouraged, and frustrated, but pastor and father-of-four Paul Tripp is filled with hope about parenting. Discover why thru this course and learn the principles to raise children God’s way – including how to navigate the specific challenges or raising teens and pre-teens in a world gone sexually insane.

The Stage of Truth: The moment-by-moment impact of salvation

Facilitators: Justin Boswell & Rob Hackworth

What does it really mean to be saved? Did you choose salvation, or did God choose it for you? Why was it necessary that Jesus, the eternal Son of God made flesh, had to die in order for you to be saved? What was accomplished by his death? And can a person’s salvation be lost, like a precious piece of jewelry? In this winter Ridge class, let’s talk all things salvation. We’ll dig into the Scriptures and hear from prominent theologians. We’ll explore both fact and theory, and help you come away with a deeper and broader understanding about God’s greatest gift to mankind.

This class will continue our journey through the “Making Theology Accessible” program, around the stage of truth that Pastor Jack often references with us. Growing our understanding of theology makes a practical impact in our everyday lives. As we come to know God’s character better, it motivates our love in response to Him and our love for others, as we want them to know Him too.

RIDGE Kids Classes

September to May
2s & 3s

A safe, fun time of childcare with a rotation of BRBC teachers and helpers.

4s & 5s

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.

1st-2nd & 3rd-5th grades

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 member, Chris Rogan, and helpers.

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.

6th-8th grades
TEACHERS: Leanne Manzo

From Pastor David: “For our Middle School students – we are doing a Bible study on the book of 1 Peter. Not only are there remarkable insights and wisdom on how to live day to day, but students will also be shown how to look at the Bible and understand it on their own. The class will be taught by Leanne Manzo who has been working with students for over ten collective years. She has great love for the Lord, a degree in biblical counseling, and personally I think the biggest credential may be her genuine care and ability to understand and connect with middle school students.”

 If you have questions about this class, email Leanne here.

9th-12th grades
TEACHER: Rob Cooper

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.
