Buda + Kyle Meet Up
If you call the Buda/Kyle area “home,” you and your family are invited to join us after church on Sunday, Aug 24! This is a great chance to meet neighbors and make new friends, while you enjoy some food and hear about ways to connect with the Ridge in your part of town.
Come meet our team and connect with others who are also looking to belong at the Ridge!
We will be having the event at both the Bee Cave and Southwest Campuses. Please RSVP so we can plan enough food. Childcare is available as well!
