Placeholder bee cave campus header

More than just opening our doors on Sundays, we want to walk with you through difficult times.

Ridge Care provides pastoral care in the areas of marriage and family relationships, premarital education, one-on-one mentoring, dependent care for individuals with special needs, divorce recovery, addictive behavior recovery, and grief support.

We also want to support and pray with you as you experience any type of life-transforming circumstance, such as birth, illness, hospitalization, or death.

To let us know how we can help, please fill out the Care Form below.

If you would like to speak to someone directly, please contact the church offices at (512) 263-7701.
