When we come together for corporate worship on a Sunday morning, our greatest desire is to celebrate and worship our God. When we worship Him authentically, the other aspects of coming together happen naturally--mutual encouragement, instruction and inspiration from God's Word, and connecting with those who are new to our church community.

Women of The Ridge meet the first Thursday of each month for a special time of teaching, connection, encouragement and prayer called "Ladies First Thursdays". We also have partnership teams that communicate throughout the month to build unity and to foster lasting friendships. We envision this journey of discovery to also include life coaching, mentoring, book forums, coffee klatches, movie nights and perhaps even a retreat night away once a year or attending a conference together. Our focus will always be to continue to grow in knowledge of our relationships with God and who we are in His plan for our lives.

Little Lights Nursery is for ages 2 and under. Our staff does a wonderful job of keeping your little ones safe while also teaching them about God's love through fun, hands-on activities. They're in good hands while you're in the worship service!

Camp Discovery is for kids age 3 through Kindergarten. This is a high-energy age, so our teachers have high-energy lessons and activities to point our kids to Christ. Your kids won't want to miss a Sunday!

Exploration Station is our 1st-5th grade ministry. Kids this age get to stay in the worship service for the first half, and then come back for their lesson and activities during the sermon. That way, they have time to worship with their families, yet are also able to build friendships and enjoy lessons that are suited to their age.

Alpha & Omega youth ministry is a partnership of local churches. Youth from around the Thornton area come together to discover God's plan for their lives, and for the 3 F's: Fun, Food, and Friendship. The Sr. High meets on Sunday nights from 6-8:30. The Jr. High meets on Wednesday nights from 7-8:30. Both meet at Village Baptist Church on 4550 E 128th Ave in Thornton.

Life Groups are groups of adults that meet in people's homes for Bible study, to build friendships, and to foster a community of care for one another. We have groups meeting most nights of the week and groups vary in their frequency of gatherings.

Rather than just "doing church," we want to "be the church." Christ called His followers to serve others as He did. Therefore, we desire to serve others in our daily lives, to serve in partnership with area ministries that aid those in need, and to serve our community in practical ways that point them to Christ.

We are all made for community. We need interaction with others. So, having various events and activities where we can simply share life is very important. Whether it's a sport league, summer camp, church retreat, or special event, share your life ith others who care and encourage.
