Music
Ministry
The Music Ministry at
Ridge Road is an important part of our church life. Our
belief is that the congregation is not the audience for our
musical offerings. Instead we believe the audience is God.
Throughout the year, church members assist in worship
leadership through special music, and direct us in creative
ways to our God. At Ridge Road, there are choirs for all
ages, as well as opportunities for solo voices and
instruments to take part.
Chancel
Choir (Adults) Wednesdays at 7:45 pm
Children’s Choir: Wednesdays at 6:30 pm (K-grade 5)
Youth Choir: Sundays at 5:00 pm (Grades

contact Patti LIngafelt, Minister of Music and
Church Organist or the church office.
