Spring Fling

  • 407 Ridgewood Drive Greer, SC, 29651 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We are excited to be hosting a Spring Fling Block Party in our own parking lot on April 5th from 4pm-6pm. This event has a twofold purpose:

  1. We want to provide an event for the families in our body to connect and fellowship together.

  2. We want to provide an opportunity for our body to connect with our surrounding neighbors in a meaningful way.

We plan on having carnival games, inflatables, yummy snacks, and more! Feel free to invite neighbors, co-workers, and friends- those who are near to you but may be far from the Lord. We hope to see you there!

We also are needing volunteers to help serve during the event. We have created time slots this year, so you don’t have to serve the whole event!

If you are willing to serve for the whole event, please put your name in a slot for each of the timeframes. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Hannah or Meaghan Thank you!

Click the link below to find out more and sign up for a slot by March 30.

Parent Commissioning Class

We are super grateful for how the Lord has allowed us to serve parents and be aunts, uncles, and grandparents in the faith to each other's children for many years in the life of our church. We love the role that the Parent Commissioning Presentation has played in that ministry as we commission parents to make Jesus known to their children and agree as a church to support and encourage them in this work.

Parent Commissioning is a class and ceremony for members who are either first-time parents or parents with young kids (4 and under) who have recently joined the church. The purpose of Parent Commissioning is two fold: 

1. We want to see parents commissioned as the primary disciple makers in their home and equip them as best we can for the ministry of parenthood and the mission field of their home. 

2. We want to agree as a church to support and encourage these parents in the discipleship of their young ones. The Ridgewood body will commit to being aunts, uncles, and grandparents in the faith to their children. 

By signing up for Parent Commissioning you are agreeing to participate in the parenting class on Saturday, May 10 from 9 to 11 AM. 

After completing the class and some simple homework assignments, parents will participate in the Sunday morning Parent Commissioning Presentation on August 24. We will celebrate the blessing of your little ones while you stand before the congregation declaring that you will raise your children in the fear and knowledge of the Lord and asking our church to stand with you in partnership in this task.

If you are a member of Ridgewood Church and would like to participate in Parent Commissioning, please sign up below by Tuesday, April 29.

June Dinner Groups

  • Google Calendar ICS

Our annual summer Dinner Groups are back for Summer 2025! We will be doing them in June and July. Our hope is that Dinner Groups will serve as one of the many ways our church body pursues maturity in Christ, while also deepening and building new relationships within the church body.

How Dinner Groups Work

For those who are new to Dinner Groups, here is how they work:

  • What: Dinner Groups are formed with three to four couples, families, or individuals who share a meal and enjoy conversation twice during a month.

  • Who:

    • Participants: Smaller groups of five to eight adults contribute to the shared meal. You don't have to be a church member to participate.

    • Hosts: One individual, couple, or family will be designated as a “host” for your group. Details of hosting are listed below. You must be a church member to host.

  • When: There will be three options available. You will choose only one of the following options:

    • Option 1: Saturdays - June 7 & 21

    • Option 2: Wednesdays - June 11 &25

    • Option 3: Other - for those who can't do the above dates and want to coordinate their own dates within their Dinner Groups

We Need Hosts

We want to limit the size of these groups, so we need people willing to host a Dinner Group. You must be a member of Ridgewood to be a host. If you agree to "host," Aaron will get you all the information you need.

Responsibilities of hosts:

  • Must be a Ridgewood member

  • Communicate with the group to determine the exact times for the shared meals

  • Help coordinate what each person may contribute to the meal

  • Initiate a more intentional conversation with some questions for everyone to be able to get to know each other better

Sign-up Deadline for June Dinner Groups: Sunday, May 18

We are going to do Dinner Groups in June and July. You will need to sign up for each month separately if you want to participate in both months. Your Dinner Group will be different for each month. The sign-up deadline for June Dinner Groups is Sunday, May 18 . This deadline is a hard deadline since the coordination of groups takes time and organization. Please sign up below by May 18.

Email Aaron with any questions.

  1. Lad Camp #2 (June 19-21): Offered for 1st-4th graders (completed Spring 2025), this is the perfect introduction to summer camp. Lad Camp is a three day; two night experience. Campers register by church/group, and each group stays together in a cabin. Each group must also have one adult male for every 5 campers. If you are looking for a great way to introduce your child to summer camp, this is it! Cost is $165.00 per person. Code to register with “Ridgewood Church” group: RidgewoodLadCamp

  2. Crusader Camp #1 (June 2-6): This is a five day (Mon-Fri) camp for 4th-12th graders, with age-appropriate cabins & activities for each age group. Both individuals and groups are welcome. Large groups from churches are split into smaller pairs of campers to increase social interaction, growth and development.

Code to register with “Ridgewood Church-Crusader” group: RidgewoodCrusader

Please register by March 23. If you have any questions about registration, reach out to Hannah Koschel.

  • Week 1: October 2-8

    • Each day this week, we'll pray for the Lord to raise up workers for the harvest worldwide.

  • Week 2: October 9-15

    • Each day this week, we'll pray for the Lord to raise up church planters, pastors, and missionaries from Ridgewood.

  • Week 3: October 16-22

    • Each day this week, we'll pray for the Lord to strengthen our partners already serving on the mission field.

  • Week 4: October 23-31
