Welcome to Ridgecrest Students! We exist to help students thrive in their faith by creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere where they can come and build relationships with other students, as well as leaders who seek to point them to Jesus.

Apologetics Study
We'll spend a little bit hanging out, and then dive into what we've been reading about and talk through various cultural topics each week.
Theme Night: World Cup
April 29 @ 6:30 pm
Our theme night this month will be World Cup Night!
Students will be placed on teams representing countries from around the world and compete in a variety of games and challenges to crown the World Cup Champions of the Night.
Not a soccer fan? No problem — this night is all about games, competition, and community.
Events like this are an important part of youth ministry because they create space for friendships to grow and help students feel connected.
This is a great night for students to invite friends, especially those who may be visiting for the first time.
