A note from our lead pastor
Here at the Ridge, we believe church is more than a place to show up every Sunday. “Church” is you and me—a dynamic movement of God’s people striving to live the Jesus life in a world desperate for His grace and mercy.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have services every Sunday at 9am and 11am, located in our Worship Center.
We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early, so you'll have plenty of time to find a parking space, drop off your children and/or students, grab a cup of coffee, and find a seat. From the moment you arrive, we have volunteers to help direct you!
Each Sunday we gather for meaningful worship and biblical teaching that can be applied to everyday life. In every service, we have live worship followed by a relevant, straightforward message that will help you know Jesus, grow in Him, and serve Him daily. Watch some of our previous services here.
We have classes for children from birth through 5th grade. Ridge Kids is a place where kids learn about God's love for them in a safe, fun, and encouraging environment. An amazing team of volunteer leaders teach, challenge, and encourage children each week, using age-appropriate lessons from the Bible, activities, and games!
Please note: Birth-1st Grade meets in Building A, and 2nd-5th Grade meets in Building C. Ridge Kids services for all ages are available during both services.
If you are a first time visitor, you can pre-register your children for Ridge Kids here.
We want to be a great place where your student can be with friends and learn about Jesus. Ridge Students offers large group gatherings, small groups, events, and opportunities to serve — all to pursue God and love people!
Please note: Middle School meets at 9am on Sunday mornings, and High School meets at 11am, both in Building D.
We have several opportunities to get connected at the Ridge! Our Young Adults ministry meets weekly on Tuesdays at our Southwest Campus. Our Men’s and Women’s ministries offer Bible studies, classes, and events throughout the year. We also offer Events, Classes, and Life Groups, which are great ways to grow in your relationship with Jesus and build community.
We offer accessible parking, entrances, and seating.
Embrace, our special needs ministry, connects individuals of all abilities to our Sunday morning experience. We offer one-on-one pal support and host classes for children, teens, and young adults with special needs, creating an opportunity for the entire family to worship and study God’s Word.

Annie grew up in Austin, attended the University of Texas, graduated with a degree in Education, and taught in both public and private schools before moving to Rwanda, Africa, to work as the Education Director at a home for orphans. While there, she also taught a Pre-K class and English to a small group of women. After almost two years, God closed that door and brought her back to Austin, although Africa will always have a piece of her heart. After several years in the classroom, God provided a job within Austin Ridge for her to serve as the Director of SonShine School. Annie loves and enjoys her job - the staff, the children, and the parents! When not at SonShine, she enjoys CG, all things outdoors, and lots of time with family, friends, and her husband.
