About Our Church
(Disciples of Christ)
We are a ministering church.
Through Christ we want to enable persons to discover and develop their
gifts for ministry. Special groups in our church help members and
visitors
discover and develop their gifts. These groups include a variety of
Sunday
School classes; Christian Women's Fellowship; Christian Men's
Fellowship;
Keenagers' Fellowship (individuals who are fifty years of age or older);
Chancel Choir; Worship Band (guitars, percussion instruments; youth
fellowships led by adult sponsors and the Youth Minister; mission trips,
summer camping and conference programs for youth; leadership training
and
workshops for all ages; weekly Tai Chi class, and monthly Bridge Group.
We
encourage our members to develop new groups to meet their particular
needs
or interests. We eagerly invite you to come join us - both to grow and
be
nurtured, and to assist in ministering to others
We are a learning church.
The Christian education of adults, youth, and children is a priority at
Ridglea Christian Church. Christ commissioned: "Go into all the world,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you." Our Sunday
School begins each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. We have classes for children and
youth. Currently there are four adult classes. Our young people meet for
programs of study, fellowship, and service Sunday evenings.
We are a serving church.
In Christ's command to love our neighbors, feed the hungry, visit the
sick,
clothe the naked, and welcome the stranger, we seek to find needs and meet
them. We contribute to many local service agencies, both financially and
through the work of our hands. We support Disciples' ministries and
institutions. Through the budget, special offerings, and the Good
Samaritan
Fund, we respond to needs at home and around the world.
We are a growing church.
Ridglea Christian Church has had an important role in ministry and service
through Christ for over four decades. The congregation was chartered in
June
1953 and has been at the present location of 6720 West Elizabeth Lane
since
that time. Our foundation is Christ. Christ is the very life of our
church,
the Lord of all we do. We believe that we are here to provide a powerful
witness in the community. We invite you to serve, worship, pray,
minister,
learn, and fellowship with us.
We are a worshipping church.
We are a worshipping church.
We gather for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:55 a.m. Central in the
worship service is the sacrament of Communion, the Lord's Supper.
Participation is open to all who profess Christ as Savior and Lord.
We also offer a monthly service of Prayer and Wellness at 7:00 p.m. on the
third Wednesday evening of each month.
We warmly invite you to become part of a church where everyone is welcomed
and accepted, challenged and affirmed, respected and loved. We are an open
congregation of believers who confess Jesus as the Christ and proclaim Him
Lord and Savior. Upon this simple confession we receive and welcome you to
Ridglea Christian Church. Ridglea Christian Church is a member
congregation
of the denomination known as the Disciples of Christ. Members of the
Christian Church do not claim to be the only Christians, but enjoy being
thought of simply as Christians -- a part of the body of people believing
in
Christ. One may become a member of this congregation by voluntary
profession
of belief in Christ, or by transfer from any other Christian denomination.
The Christian Church practices baptism by immersion, but welcomes anyone
who
is satisfied with his or her baptism. Our fellowship encourages diversity
and freedom. We find ways to work, study, fellowship, and worship together
in unity, honoring Christ's prayer for us…"that they may all be one."
