Our Beliefs
[ What We Believe ]
Jesus Is The Center
What you'll find at The Ridge is people from all different faith backgrounds. Some are Baptist, some are Charismatic, some come from a much more traditional setting, some are Catholic. The beauty is that we can all
grow in our faith when we don't get hung up on the lines that separate. The centrality of Jesus and His message is the focus.
About the Scriptures
We believe the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.
Deuteronomy 4:1–2 / Psalms 119:11, 89, 105 / Isaiah 40:8 / Matthew 22:29 / John 5:39; 16:13–15; 17:17 / Romans 15:4 / 2 Timothy 3:15–17 / Hebrews 1:1–2; 4:12 / 1 Peter 1:25 / 2 Peter 3:16
About God
We believe in one God who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the lost world.
Deuteronomy 6:4 / Isaiah 61:1 / Matthew 28:19 / Mark 1:9–11 / Luke 1:35 / John 5:21–23; 14:10, 16 / Romans 8:9–11 / 1 Corinthians 8:6 / 2 Corinthians 13:14 / Hebrews 1:8–10 / James 2:19
About Humanity
We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
Genesis 1:26–30; 2:7, 18–22; 3 / Psalms 8:3–6; 32:1–5; 51:5 / Isaiah 6:5 / Jeremiah 17:5 / Acts 17:26–31 / Romans 1:19–32; 3:10–18, 23; 5:6; 6:6; 7:14–25 / 1 Corinthians 1:21–31; 15:19, 21–22 / Ephesians 2 / Colossians 1:21–22; 3:9–11
About Salvation
We believe that the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin.
Isaiah 1:18; 53:5–6; 55:7 / Matthew 1:21; 27:22–66; 28:1–6 / Luke 1:68–69; 2:28–32 / John 1:12; 3:16, 36; 5:24 / Acts 2:21; 4:12; 16:30–31 / Romans 1:16–18; 3:23–25; 5:8–10; 6 / 1 Corinthians 1:18 / 2 Corinthians 5:17–20 / Galatians 2:20; 3:13 / Ephesians 2:8–10 / Philippians 2:12–13 / Hebrews 9:24–28 / Revelation 3:20
About the Christian Life
We believe all Christians should live for Christ and not for themselves. By obedience to the Word of God and daily yielding to the Spirit of God, every believer should mature and be conformed to the image of Christ.
About the Church
We believe that the church is the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him and by making Him known to the lost world.

FAQ
What denomination is The Ridge?
Non-denominational. People here come from Baptist, Charismatic, Catholic, and other backgrounds: the focus is Jesus, not a denominational label.
Does The Ridge believe the Bible is inerrant?
100%. See "About the Scriptures" above.
What does the Ridge believe about salvation?
Salvation is a gift from God, and received by faith alone (never earned). See "About Salvation" above. Baptism follows salvation as an act of obedience (it's not what saves you). It's a symbol of how you were raised from death to life. The old you is gone, and the new you has been washed by the blood of Jesus.
Does The Ridge believe in the Trinity?
Yes. See "About God" above.
