Everyone Is Welcome, Everyone is Special, Christ is LordThose were the first three things I learned about this Church. I saw them on your
website after the DS called me and asked me to begin praying about whether or not
God was calling me here to be a part of this body of Christ. Often times what people
say they believe and what they actually believe are not the same thing, yet here, this
does seem to be the case.
n the six months we have been here, you have made us feel nothing but welcome,nothing but special, and in so many ways I can see how Christ is the Lord of your
ives and this church. It really is an honor to be the pastor of this church.
have been excited by what God is doing among us and wanted to take just a few
seconds to highlight a few victories from our time together.
n the past 6 months we have seen God move powerfully in our Worship services.
n the past 6 months we have baptized 42 people.
n the past 6 months well over 50 people have made professions of faith.
n the past 6 months we have begun a variety of new ministries to help share the
ove of God with a desperate world.
Grief Recovery, Divorce Recovery, Marriage Enrichment; and coming soon, an
addictions recovery ministry (Celebrate Recovery).n the past 6 months we have been praying for and working on uniting the churches
of Ridgefield in sharing the love of God by offering a day a free medical care to our
community (Compassion Connect Clinic) in the name of Jesus and by offering to plan
and prepare for the first Baccalaureate Service that Ridgefield High school has had in
over a decade.
n the past 6 months we have seen a resurgence and new excitement and new
depth of faith in our youth ministries of the leadership of Pastor Casey and Jen and
heir leadership team as they focus on evangelism and discipleship.
n the past six months we have seen our Childrens ministries continue to grow
under the leadership of Pastor Steve and Laurie, Pastor Zach and Carrie, and
Georgianna Jones.

Childrens Ministry
The Childrens Ministry at our church is
growing and we are excited! To helpaccommodate our growth we are making some
positive changes:
1. The downstairs hallway and
classrooms are being renovated and
updated.
2. We are rearranging classrooms to
accommodate our largest age group-
preschoolers.
But with new classrooms means the need formore volunteersthats where you all come in.
Mark 10:14-16
Let the little children come
to me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I
tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive
the kingdom of God like a little child will
never enter it. And he took the children in
his arms, put his hands on them and blessedthem.
Our Childrens Ministry has a priceless
opportunity to make a positive impact on the
lives of not only our children, but also their
families. We would love for you to play a
part. Please contact Pastor Steve Patee or
Georgianna Jones to see how you can help.
