What about my children?

Jesus says this about children, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 19:14). God blesses us with children as a gift. We take seriously the stewardship of your children during the services. Our workers carefully and lovingly instruct them using simple and engaging teaching. Your child will enjoy and be enriched during the Bible study and preaching time. Parents of children from birth to age five will be given pagers that will help address any special need that may arise. Workers observe special guidelines and practices to insure the safety and well-being of your child.

What does "Baptist" mean in your church name?

We are a church independent of any denomination. We hold to sacred core beliefs commonly held by all Bible believing churches. We use “Baptist” in our name to be an aid to understanding our heritage of beliefs. The church practices baptism by immersion for those who have trusted Christ as their personal Savior. We follow a congregational worship style traditionally found in Baptist churches.

What is the atmosphere of your worship service?

Our desire is to approach God reverently in worship. This includes giving a sincere friendly greeting to our guests, presenting sacred music both vocally and instrumentally, voluntary giving by our people, and fervent, practical preaching. Your heart and openness towards God is one of the most important aspects of your presence in the worship service.

What level of participation will be expected of me?

You are free to attend any or all of the services. As a believer, you are invited to participate in all aspects of public worship including the observing of the Lord’s Table (Quarterly). If you are desiring to know more about God, you are invited to listen to the preaching that will show you how you can have a personal relationship with Him. You do not have to know the hymns, give during the offering, or volunteer any personal information. You are our special guest and we are praying that your life will be transformed by God’s truths.

Why should I attend Shadow Ridge?

Only God can give you the assurance of that decision. By coming, you are testing God’s will. If you desire to know more about God realize that He has guided your steps and given you an open door to know Him. You are always welcomed and we have been praying that God will make a difference in your life through this ministry.
