Weekend classes are available at the same time as the adult services. We respect your role as the primary spiritual leader in your child’s life so you will check your child into Ridge Kids before the service, but Kindergarten through 4th grade will stay with their families for the first part of the service. A host from the stage with invite kids to continue in worship in Ridge Kids. Class leaders will be waiting under the Ridge Kids monitors on the left-hand side of both floors.
