NEXT at the Ridge
Be a part of what God is doing for the future
NEXT is our capital campaign to support the expansion of our campuses to provide environments for people to know, grow, and serve Jesus, both for those who currently attend the Ridge and for those who have yet to come to our church.
Our elders and church staff have been praying about how to respond to growth in our church for years. Since 2004, when we had 350 people attending Sunday services, to now with over 8,000 adults, students and kids coming to our four campuses a week. We have continued to take reasonable steps to respond to what God is doing in bringing people to Himself through the Ridge.
How to Participate
If you call the Ridge “home,” we ask you to prayerfully consider giving to help Build Kingdom through the NEXT Campaign. Please make a 3-year pledge to help us plan for the financial funding of these projects.
Pledge Based on your current campus:
Dripping Springs Campus
We have already completed the strategic design phase of this project and are moving into design development, which will culminate in construction documents to allow us to hire a general contractor to build a permanent campus with a 1,000-seat worship center for our Dripping Springs community.
North Hills Campus
We are under contract to purchase the land and church facility currently known as Great Hills Baptist Church. The church is located in the center of the Austin Metro region next to the Arboretum and Domain.
Bee Cave Campus Chapel
We are in the design development phase as we prepare to build a chapel for weddings, funerals, equipping classes, Bible studies, and more, continuing to make use of the 78 acres that God has provided on our Bee Cave Campus.
Highland Lakes Campus Launch
We have launched our fourth campus to serve the Highland Lakes area! There are over 10,000 new home construction permits in the area, with many people driving over 45 minutes to our campuses each week.
Our vision for what's NEXT
We believe that your gifts to build what is NEXT at the Ridge are some of the most strategic gifts that you can make in building God’s Kingdom. In order to do what we do at the Ridge – helping people to know Jesus, to grow in Him and then to make a spiritual difference in the life of someone else, it requires facilities to serve people.
By investing in facilities, we invest in people and ultimately impact the world!
