YOUTH MINISTRIES
Ridge United Methodist Church's Youth Group - Ridge Youth - exists to help carry out the mission of the
church to the young people of Northwest Indiana, to help people build relationships with one another and
with God.  The Ridge Youth Group is a safe place for youth to ask questions and expect to grow in faith.  We
place a high emphasis on mission opportunities.

We are a ministry that is dedicated to touching and inspiring the lives of young people by helping them know
that they are loved by God and that God has a purpose for them and calls them to fulfill that purpose in the
world. We strive to do these things in a variety of ways:

  • Through programming for Middle School and Senior High youth on Sunday evenings, including
    worship opportunities,
  • Through mid-week studies and other educational opportunities,
  • Through retreats and lock-ins,
  • Through mission trips and other mission activities,
  • Through special activities like concerts and youth rallies, and
  • Through our Open Gym ministry.

In all these ways we hope to transform lives and ultimately the world.
