Ridgecrest Baptist Church

There's nothing quite like gathering with our church family to lift our voices in worship. Every song, every prayer, every moment together is a chance to remember who God is and what He's done.

"I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving." — Psalm 69:30

Whatever this week has held, come as you are and worship with us this Sunday at 9:15am or 10:45am.

Our Club 56 kids (5th and 6th graders) are in the St. Louis, MO area right now on Mission 56, serving through July 17!

They're partnering with The Project Pr***en through the Missouri Baptist Convention, leading Backyard Bible camps and sharing the gospel with preteens and younger kids in the community. Their evenings are filled with worship and preaching as they get poured into after a full day of ministry.

This is a big step for our Club 56 kids — many of them sharing their faith in a whole new way. Would you pray with us for the rest of their week?

Pray for continued safety and energy as they serve.
Pray for boldness and confidence as they share the gospel.
Pray for the preteens and kids they're meeting at Backyard Bible camp — that hearts would be open.
Pray for our leaders, that they'd have wisdom and endurance through the week.

They'll be back home July 17. Let's keep covering them in prayer until then.

Camp season is here at Ridgecrest! 🙌

This week: our Junior High students are at camp.
Next week: high schoolers head out.
The following week: elementary girls.
And to close out July: elementary boys.

Four weeks, four camps, so many kids and students encountering God in a new way. Would you join us in praying — for safety on the road, for hearts to be open, for leaders to be filled with energy and patience, and for lives to be changed?

Pray for this week's campers by name if you know them. Pray for the ones still waiting their turn. This is a big month for our NextGen Ministry, and we don't want to walk through it without you.

250 years ago, a nation was born. 🇺🇸

Today we're grateful — not just for the freedoms we enjoy, but for the One who makes all freedom possible. Every good gift comes from above, and the story of this country is woven through with the faithfulness of a God who hears, who moves, and who redeems.

We celebrate today with humble and thankful hearts — thankful for the grace that has brought us this far, and trusting in the God who holds every nation in His hands.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." — Psalm 33:12

Happy 4th of July. 🙏🎆

"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? "
— Psalm 121:1

Whatever you're carrying today, you don't have to figure it out on your own. 🙏 The same God who spoke the mountains into existence is the One you can turn to — and He is faithful to meet you right where you are.

Lift your eyes. Your help is on the way. ✨

The sermon that Satan doesn't want you to hear is now available!

This past Sunday, we had to cancel services due to weather, but we still wanted to make sure that this sermon was made available to you! So you can now watch the sermon on our website, our church app, or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

We've also added the sermon to the music portion of our 9:15 service, which is available on our website if you'd like to go back and listen to Sunday's musical worship again.

Thank you for your patience while we worked to get this to you!

Due to inclement weather, and in the interest of safety, we had to cancel our 9:15am service and are cancelling today's 10:45am services as well. We're praying that everyone stays safe in the storm!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, granddads, stepfathers, father figures, and every man who has poured into the life of a child.

Your presence matters more than you know. Thank you for showing up, for leading with love, and for pointing those around you to the Father who loves us all.

We're grateful for you today and every day. 🙏
