Grow

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” 

— 2 Peter 3:18

Growth is one of those words that sounds inspiring, but when you really sit with it, you realize how demanding it can be. Growth takes time. Growth takes intention. And more often than we’d like to admit, growth takes discomfort. Yet Scripture doesn’t present growth as optional for the believer. Peter doesn’t say, “If you feel ready, grow,” but simply, “Grow.” Not just in knowledge, but in grace , becoming more like Jesus in how we love, forgive, listen, and live.

Ridge Confirmation Class 2026

Do you want to help your student understand and claim their faith? We want to help your family with that, so we're inviting you to be a part of Confirmation this year!

Confirmation is a Christian formation class about understanding and claiming your faith. It's designed especially for middle school students, though older students who have not been through confirmation are also invited to participate. At the end of the process, students will have the opportunity to publicly profess faith in Christ and be either confirmed, rededicated or baptized, depending on their history, as well as joining The Ridge as a full member.

We will experience two days of skiing plus a group excursion with lodging at the Cabins at Pine Haven. Winterplace is one of the East's best ski resorts featuring 8 beginner runs, 6 intermediate runs, 4 advanced runs, a terrain park, and a snow tubing hill! 

We’ll also spend time meeting together for worship and devotion sessions where we’ll grow closer to one another and focus on how we can grow in Christ as a group. 

Cost is $425/student which includes most meals, ski equipment, helmet, lodging, transportation and activities. Scholarships are available to all Ridge students to help offset the cost.

Prayer & Celebration

As a church family, we believe in the power of prayer and the gift of walking alongside one another in every season. We invite you to lift up the following individuals and families in prayer this week:

Annette Hutto

Please keep Annette in your prayers as she receives chemotherapy. We ask the Lord for healing, strength, and endurance throughout her treatments, for minimal side effects, and for peace that surpasses understanding. We also pray for provision, for physical needs, emotional support, and every resource required during this season, and for God’s presence to be felt clearly by Annette and her loved ones.

Coy Nichols

Please continue to lift Coy in prayer as he is now home recovering following his shoulder surgery. We give thanks for a successful procedure and ask the Lord to continue guiding his healing in the days ahead. Pray for strength as he regains mobility, patience throughout the recovery process, and for comfort and rest as his body heals. May Coy experience the Lord’s peace and presence in this season, and may each day bring renewed strength and steady progress.

Gabbie Watson

Please pray for Gabbie as she continues her chemotherapy treatments. We ask the Lord for effective results, minimal side effects, and His comforting, steady presence to surround both Gabbie and her family. We also give thanks for her strength and for God’s faithfulness in every step of this journey.

Marietta Webb

Please keep Marietta in your prayers as she prepares for surgery on

February 11, following a fall that resulted in a torn Achilles tendon. After recent testing related to some heart irregularities, doctors have cleared a path forward, and she is now moving toward this next step in her healing journey. Pray for wisdom and steady hands for her medical team, for a smooth and successful surgery, and for peace to surround Marietta in the days leading up to the procedure. Please also pray for strength, patience, and steady healing during recovery, and for a deep confidence in the Lord’s presence, timing, and faithful care every step of the way.

If you have a prayer request or know someone in need of prayer, please email Andy at andy@theridgecolumbus.com. It is our joy and privilege to pray with and for you.
