Ridge Paradise

Ridge is the Paradise site of RPC, as well as the original site/location of our church. Launched in 1987, Ridge has met in office parks, schools, performance halls, and community centers. This all changed in November 2018 when the Camp Fire devastated the town of Paradise. Our church office as well as our Sunday worship locations were all destroyed. But the CHURCH is still alive and well!

We are currently meeting in the Charter Hall of Paradise United Methodist. And we are eager to see what God has in store for us next as the recovery in Paradise continues.

Kids Ministry

Little Kids

Infants - 3 yrs.

Nursery age and Toddlers have a dedicated space in the children's wing across the courtyard that is open for the entire worship service. Our weekly teacher Tabitha and a rotating team of volunteers are ready to love on our families and model the love of Jesus to our little ones. This space is set up to be flexible to meet the children’s needs for movement and comfort.

Big Kids

4 yrs. - 8 yrs.

Older kids also have a classroom in the children's wing, but won't be dismissed to Sunday School until right before the sermon. Our weekly teacher Sarah and a rotating team of volunteers are committed to introducing our kids to Scripture memory, prayer, and seeing Jesus in ALL of the Bible! 

Notes Challenge

 9 & Up

Kids 9 & up are invited to stay in the Sanctuary with their parents to learn the rhythms of full Sunday worship.  But we have clipboards with note pages available on the back table that come with a special challenge...draw/sketch/write about what you hear in Church each week. And if you can turn in 5 of those pages, you will earn a special prize!
