Ridgewood Kids

Ridgewood Kids Sunday Mornings

Sunday morning Kids programming takes place every Sunday during the 10am service for children birth – grade 4.

If this is your first time attending Ridgewood with kids, swing by the Kids welcome desk when you arrive. The kids welcome desk is located on the south entrance of the church. There will be a friendly face to greet you, help you register your child and walk you and your child to their room to meet their leaders. Each parent will receive a pick-up tag that matches the child’s nametag for a safe and meaningful experience.

Once you know the drill, parents can register in advance for faster check-in.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday mornings!

What's Happening in Kid's Ministry

Child Dedication

At Ridgewood Church we value children. Periodically we dedicate children to the Lord at a Sunday service. It’s a wonderful way for parents, family and our church community to make a public commitment to help raise up a child to know and trust our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The next Child Dedication is Sunday, May 10 at the 10am service. Registration is open!
