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.
Having just finished out our SECOND two-year cycle of theology courses during RIDGE classes, we are kicking it back off this fall. We anticipate offering another theology course each RIDGE session for the next two-year period using the “Theology Program” materials. Pastor Jack often references the “stage of truth” during his sermons — that illustration came from this theology program!
This class will serve as a terrific “entry point” into the study of theology. A Christian introduction to theology class is an educational course that aims to provide students with a foundational understanding of Christian beliefs, doctrines, and principles within a theological context.
We will aim to foster critical thinking, respectful dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the Christian faith’s intellectual and spiritual dimensions. It provides a solid foundation for further exploration and study in advanced theology courses and equips students with the knowledge to engage with theological discussions in both religious and secular contexts. Over 60 BRBCers have gone thru this program during the last two years of previous RIDGE sessions. Join us this fall!
Re|engage
Facilitators: Scott & Lisa Bedrosian
Re|engage brings couples together to learn about God’s design for marriage and apply biblical principles for building a healthy relationship.
Re|engage is for all married couples, whether in the thick of a stormy relationship, leaning into a strong thriving marriage…or somewhere in between. Re|engage is for you! The class will be lead by Scott and Lisa Bedrosian, who went through Re|engage themselves and have lead others through it, finding it an incredibly valuable tool in growing and strengthening a biblical marriage.
Re|engage is a small group of no more than 6 couples, committed to meeting weekly for 14 weeks. You will need to purchase 2 workbooks at $15 each. (They can be purchased from the Bedrosians once you are committed to the class.) We will meet during the RIDGE class hour in the fall and into the winter. Please come the first week of RIDGE classes for a no obligation time of information and introduction to see if this class is for you. The class will be made up of the first come, first served people- register now!
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 amazing teachers 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.
Spiritual Check-Ins.
This session, students will be looking at Jesus’ teachings, starting with the Beatitudes, to better understand how to develop a spiritually healthy heart. Come ready to dive into God’s Word together, as we incorporate games and activities along the way…

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.
