One Weekend can change everything. We invite 8th–12th grade students to step into their identity in Jesus and discover His purpose for their lives and relationships. Together, we will explore biblical identity in Christ as well as God’s design for relationships and sexuality. We hope to help students build healthy and God-honoring perspectives on what it means to pursue romantic relationships, battle temptation, and navigate adolescent life with Jesus.
Guys will meet at SW
Girls will meet at BC

Grace grew up in Austin and attended the Ridge with her family. Though she loved her time here as a student, Grace never thought she would be working at Austin Ridge! Grace is passionate about students having a personal relationship with Jesus and hopes to be just a small part of that life-long journey. She is happily married to her best friend Tim, and they love living out in the Hill Country together. When not hanging with students, Grace is finding new coffee shops, loving on her pets Hank and Frankie, catching up with friends or attempting to beat her husband at pickleball.

Madi is originally from Colorado and made the move to Austin in May 2025 after graduating from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. She grew up surrounded by mountains, snow, and hockey (Go Avs!), but has quickly fallen in love with all things Austin—especially the sunshine, community, and coffee shops. Madi always has a book in hand, a coffee nearby, and a heart for helping others feel known, loved, and valued. She’s thankful to be a part of what God is doing here and excited to see how He continues to move in and through this city!

Kimberly moved to Austin from Detroit when she was 21 years old. She loves hot weather and could not wait to get out of the snow. She attended Liberty University and graduated with a Communications-TV/Radio/Film degree. She is married to John with three adult children who still live in Austin. Kimberly has a passion for home decorating and landscape maintenance, so if she’s not shopping for home décor, you can find her with a chainsaw in hand out in the yard. A runner for over 22 years, she now enjoys time on the trail at Ladybird Lake, walking her dogs, and light biking. Her passion is talking with and encouraging high school students, college students, and young adults about life, God’s promise of a ‘future and a hope’ and how Jesus has a plan.
