Resources for Parents
The Ridge Community Church believes that parents are uniquely and particularly positioned by God to powerfully and positively impact the lives of their children. We are committed to supplying parents with helpful tools to inform, disciple, and encourage their kids to think clearly and critically about what they believe, so that their children’s faith will remain strong as they grow into adulthood, so that they would be able to live out their faith in Christ for a lifetime.
