PEACE


“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” - John 14:27


“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” - Isaiah 26:3


Peace can feel like a distant dream in our fast-paced, anxious world. Yet Jesus promises a peace that is not of this world, a peace that doesn’t shift with circumstances or disappear in hardship. He gave this promise to His disciples during a moment of looming uncertainty, reminding us that His peace is not fragile; it is anchored in His presence. True peace does not come from what is happening around us but from the One who is dwelling within us.

December Themes

Pre-K ~ The First Christmas Gift

Elementary ~ Christmas: The BIG Plan Leading to Jesus


Hey Parents!


Our December Pre-K RidgeRunners theme is "The First Christmas Gift." We're learning to celebrate Jesus' birthday by being givers like God. God sent Jesus as a very special Christmas present to the world. Jesus saves us and shows God's love so we can give to others to show God's love!


Bible Point: I give because God gave me Jesus!

Key Verse: John 3:16 'God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only son.' (paraphrased)


This December in Elementary RidgeRunners, we're learning how Jesus is God's plan to save us and the whole world.


Car Talk:

1. What is the best Christmas present you've ever gotten? What made it the best?

2. When Jesus was born, angels and shepherds celebrated. Why do you think people celebrated that Jesus was born?

3. What is one thing you love or learned about the Christmas story this Christmas? 


Memory Verse: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6 NIV

the Summit Winter Retreat January 1- 4 in Orlando, Florida!


Summit College Ministry connects and supports our college-age young adults by providing a bridge between their involvement in on-campus ministries and The Ridge. With that in mind, many of our studies and activities are scheduled during school breaks, but with a few more students in town, we will be adding some opportunities during the semester as well.


High school graduates ages 18 through 25 are invited to Summit events. Sam Lord is our college ministry coordinator under the direction of Nathan and Autumn Carr.
