Weekly Services

At The Ride, our mission statement is: Reach Up, Reach Out. Our mission is to teach students to reach up to God by making their faith their own and to reach out to others through community and friendship. This idea is rooted in following the Greatest Commandment that Jesus gives us as followers, to love God & to love others (Luke 10:27).

The Ride

Welcome to The Ride

The Ride is a ministry for all students in 6th-8th grade. Regardless of which school they attend, the sports they play, or their faith background, we encourage all students to come check it out! We hope that by attending The Ride, our students will be welcomed, loved, and cared for by their peers and our leaders. During the school year, we meet twice a week: Sundays and Tuesdays. During the summer, we meet three times per week: Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays.

Monthly Events

Each month during the school year, we will host a rotating event. We do things like movie nights, game nights, roller skating, tide pooling, and all sorts of fun activities! Sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop. Dates and times vary every month.

Abide

Abide is our weekend-long spring retreat (typically held in March or April). It is a great time for students to grow in their faith while away at camp. Abide is hosted at Redwood Christian Park in Boulder Creek and run by our Ride Staff. Sign up for our weekly newsletter to be reminded when sign-ups open!

Summer Events

During the summer, we pause Wildside (Tuesday nights) and switch to hosting two weekly events. Every Monday, we will have beach days at Sunny Cove Beach. Every Wednesday, we will schedule a rotating event for a fun activity. Summer events run from June to mid-August in addition to our Sunday morning service.
