GIVING As we continue to Know God, Serve Others, and Reach Our World during this time when we are not all gathering together, we continue to rely on the generosity of the church to support the ministry of Ridgecrest. Giving is not payment for activities conducted at the Church, but an act of worship conducted by the Church as overflow of what God has provided us. We encourage you to give online, on our church app, or by texting the word "GIVE" to 601-853-1090. For those worshipping on campus, giving stations are available as you exit the building. Thank you for your faithful, continued support!

July 11, 2021WELCOME! Let us know you are here! Please text “CHECK” to 601-853-1090. We are excited this morning to be worshipping with you on campus and in your homes. We have many new opportunities for your family to participate in, as well as additional opportunities to serve the church. To our guests, we welcome you and are glad you have joined us. It is our desire to share with you about Ridgecrest opportunities that promote our vision to Know God, Serve Others, and Reach Our World. Please visit our website at ridgecrest.net. We are glad you are worshipping with us this morning!
