MUSIC MINISTRIES
What better way to praise the Lord than with song and instruments! At Ridge Church, we are blessed with an active, vital and growing congregation. Worship is the time in which we join to celebrate and learn what it means to be part of the family of God. Our music ministry is central to the worshipping life of our congregation and is provided by vocal, instrumental and handbell ensembles. Currently we have groups organized for persons of all ages. You are invited to look through the following and find the appropriate group(s) in which you and your family members may become involved.
