Ridge Reading Challenge
Join The Ridge Reading Challenge
Every January, we kick off a church-wide challenge to read major parts of the Bible throughout the year, called the Ridge Reading Challenge. We are doing this because we want to make a commitment – as a church – to read the Bible every day. We believe if we all set a goal to do this and encourage one another – we can all grow in our faith, knowledge of who Jesus is and how God wants to work in our lives.
Be sure to join our Facebook group, where you can interact with other people participating.
You can check out the reading plan below, or you can find it in our app events (just text APP to 812.408.1188 to get the app).
NEW TO 2025:
-
The Ridge Reading Challenge is now 7 days a week. Why, you may ask? For one, we wanted to give you the opportunity to have content to read daily if you'd like. Which leads right in to #2:
-
We are now utilizing the YouVersion Bible app! The Bible app has TONS of studies, and we're able to post topical studies that follow along with Sunday morning sermon series, or other topics that we think are interesting. We'll continue to post the featured studies in our Ridge app as well (in the "events" tab).
-
To follow along with the studies in the Bible app, you can follow these instructions (they may look like a lot, but once you've got it set up, it's super easy to access):
-
Download the YouVersion Bible app (get it here: https://www.bible.com/app).
-
In the app, click “discover.”
-
Search for “The Ridge,” then click “churches” on the top of the results page.
-
Click on The Ridge, and click “set as my church.”
-
Once The Ridge is set as your church, you can view the current plan at any time by clicking “more” in the bottom right corner, then clicking “my church.”
-
The current plan can be found as the “featured plan” on the Ridge page. Click “start plan” to update your progress, read each day’s devotional and verse(s), and catch up on any days you miss.
We are excited to see how God will move in our church when we all make time with Him a priority!

My Best For You
Time: 9:00 am – 2:00 pm
Location: The Ridge
We are hosting My Best For You here at The Ridge on Saturday, April 12, from 9am-2pm. This is a great program for preteens (5th and 6th graders) and their parents/guardians. My Best For You is committed to partnering with families to share God's truth about our sexuality.
In fun, interactive, and age-appropriate ways, the MBFY instructors take the awkward out of conversations, equipping families to guard their hearts, minds, and bodies with honest, healthy Bible-based knowledge. During the session, we will provide a light breakfast, coffee, snacks, and lunch. Also, the kids will have some free time and we'll have games set up for them to play and hang out with their friends. Each student who attends should have a parent or guardian with them. We are asking each family to pay $20 to help cover the cost of the workbooks.
There will be a brief parent meeting following the second service on Sunday, March 30, in the Loft at 12:15. Students can hang out in the hub with supervision while parents/guardians attend the meeting. At the meeting, the MBFY instructors will give information about what to expect at the workshop and will answer any questions you may have. We highly recommend attending the parent meeting before the workshop.
You can sign up here to attend My Best For You with this link. We have scholarships available to help with the cost, as we do not want the cost to prevent a family from attending. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Children's Minister at melanieklinker@theridge.org or call 812.376.8455.
