Chestnut Ridge Church
Imagine what would happen if we didn’t just watch church, but started experiencing it before the building reopens. While watching church online has some benefits, it can’t replace the connection that happens before, during, or after a service. After all, it’s people that make the church.
You can play a part in creating an impactful experience for your friends, family, and neighbors by hosting The Ridge at Home.
Online Services Only
We will continue to gather online, and will not gather in person at the church building located at 2223 Cheat Road. We are grateful that technology allows us to experience worship and services online with you. Sunday's service will be available to watch on our app, at theridge.church/live, on Facebook and YouTube at 9am, 11am, and 5pm. To stay up to date on the latest information regarding services, reopening, and events, please visit us online at theridge.church/coronavirus.

Problem | We can’t “go to church” because our building is temporarily closed.
Solution | We are the church and our homes are open.
Matthew 16:18 ESV
Jesus promised to build His church—a people not a place—and nothing will stop Him.
Matthew 16:13-18 ESV
Acts 2:41 HCSB
Acts 2:42-47 HCSB
Acts 2:42 HCSB
Acts 2:46 HCSB
Acts 8:1-3 HCSB
Acts 8:4 HCSB
Acts 12:12 HCSB
Acts 16:40 HCSB
Romans 16:5 HCSB
Jesus promised to build His church and He kept that promise during times of great persecution. In fact, the church didn’t just survive the persecution, they thrived. It made them strong and more effective for the mission.
The door of our church building is temporarily closed but the door of your home is open.
What if closing our church doors has opened up a new door, perhaps an even bigger door, for us to love and impact the people in our life for Christ during this pandemic?
Jesus promised to build His church—a people not a place—and nothing will stop Him. Jesus built His church during times of persecution, so we can trust Jesus to build His church during this pandemic.

“When a racial group’s collective prejudice is backed by the power of legal authority and institutional control, it is transformed into racism, a far-reaching system that functions independently from the intentions or self-images of individual actors.” –Diangelo
