CHRISTMAS 2025 @ RIDGELINE
Join us all December long for the best time of year!
We began our Christmas season celebration the weekend after Thanksgiving, on Sunday 11/30. Pastor Chris preached through an all-new sermon series taking a look at times in the Old Testament where we see incredible instances that point us towards the baby in the manger -- timeless reminders that no matter what's happening, God's promises are always true.
*To catch up on the whole sermon series, click here.
11/30 - "The Snake in the Grass" (Gen. 3) - 9am + 10:45am
12/7 - "The Lord of the Stars" (Gen. 12) - 9am + 10:45am
12/14 - Kids Musical + "Our Ever-Present God" (Gen. 28) - 9am + 10:45am
12/21 - "Another in the Fire" (Dan. 3) - 9am + 10:45am
12/24 - Christmas Eve: "What if it's True?" John 3) - 4pm + 5:30pm
* Sermon link below
What to Expect
Both services will include songs -- contemporary worship as well as some old-time classic Christmas hymns. There will be a brief(er) message by our Lead Pastor about Christmas that will both encourage and challenge us in our faith. We provide Kids Ministry for birth - 5 yrs old, and invite elementary and up to attend with their families in service, which will be slightly more than an hour. Each service will be identical, casual dress, and conclude with a candle lighting as we sing "Silent Night" together.
"What if it's True?" Next Steps:
During Christmas Eve services, we invited you to consider how your life might change it the story of Christmas is true. And here's the good news: It is true -- all of it! Here are some helpful suggestions, resources, and contacts to help you as you navigate your answer to that question and the Spirit leads you in your next simple steps of faith:
