A place to be known.
Ridge Students is the youth group at Pea Ridge Baptist. We eat together, worship together, open the Bible together, and figure out what following Jesus looks like at school and at home.
Sunday nights
- 5:30
DinnerEverybody eats together in the fellowship hall. Students, families, adults, all at the same tables.
- 6:30
WorshipWe sing and worship together as a church family.
- 7:00
Ridge StudentsStudents head to the youth room for highs and lows, the Bible, and prayer.
- 8:00
PickupParents pick students up at the youth room. Its door is in the courtyard out back.
Third Sunday breakfast
On the third Sunday of every month, students get breakfast together during the morning service. Some months we eat in, and every other month we go out. It's a small, easy way to get connected, especially if Sunday nights are new to you.
First time?
Just show up at 5:30 and eat with us. Park out back and come in through the fellowship hall door in the courtyard. You don't need to sign up ahead of time.
Friends who point you to Jesus
Highs & lows
Everyone shares the best and hardest parts of their week, so nobody walks through it alone.
Open the Bible
We dig into Scripture and talk honestly about how it applies to everyday life.
Pray together
We pray for each other, and students get paired with adult prayer partners from the church who pray for them by name.
Serve
Local missions and service projects give students a chance to love people the way Jesus does.
What a year looks like
Sunday nights are the heartbeat, but some of the best memories happen when we get out of the building.
Camp Cowen
Every summer, students spend a week at West Virginia Baptist Camp in Cowen. Junior high and high school each have their own weeks.
Rallies & conventions
We join youth groups from across the state at the Junior High Convention, the Fall Youth Rally, and the Senior High Convention.
Nights out
A few Sunday nights a year, we eat dinner together and then head out for an outing or a service project.
Trips & fun
From the corn maze to bigger trips, we make space to have fun and grow closer as a group.
Upcoming events
Youth Serve & Fun Day
No school, so we're making a day of it: breakfast at church, packing food for local families at the food bank, lunch, then an afternoon out. Sign-up coming soon.
Christmas Caroling Night
Sunday night we'll go caroling for church members who can't make it out on Sundays. Families are welcome to follow along.
Youth After-Party
Stay an extra hour after the church Christmas Party for a white elephant gift exchange ($10 limit) and games. Pickup at 8:30.
