What we do: our Ministries

DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS

Ridge Students: 7th-12th grade

Kidztown: Birth-6th grade

D-Groups are small groups of about 6 members desiring a deeper connection to God's word. These groups are committed for one year to the following activities: Read 5 pre-selected chapters of scripture per week and journal your thoughts. Memorize 1 verse per week. Meet with your group one hour per week to share how God is speaking to you through your reading and journaling.
At the end of the year prayerfully consider leading a new group of disciples.

Ridge Students: 7th-12th grade

Kidztown: Birth-6th grade

God loves kids! As followers of Jesus we take that fact very seriously in the way we approach our Ministry at Chestnut Ridge Church.

We see each child as a person, not just part of the crowd, and we believe each person is a vital part of the church no matter their age or ability.

It is our goal in KidzTown to help you as you disciple your children. We are here to assist in the construction of a solid Biblical foundation for every person's faith. Whether you bring your family on Sunday morning or Wednesday night you can be sure that the programs we have in place are designed to teach Biblical truth in a lasting way.

What we believe: Our Core Beliefs

The Bible

Jesus Christ

The Bible

We believe the Bible to be the complete Word of God.

  • That the 66 books of the Old and New Testament were inspired by the Spirit of God as originally written
  • That the Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and conduct · 2 Timothy 3:16

God

Jesus Christ

The Bible

We believe in one God, Creator of all, holy, sovereign, eternal, existing in three equal Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the absolute and essential deity of our Lord Jesus Christ

  • In His eternal existence, with the Father in pre-incarnate glory
  • In His work of creation, in His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death and bodily resurrection
  • In His triumphant ascension, mediatorial ministry and personal return

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the absolute and essential deity, and in the personality of the Holy Spirit

  • Who convinces of sin, of righteousness and of judgment
  • Who regenerates, indwells, seals, sanctifies, illuminates and comforts those who believe in Jesus Christ
  • Who baptizes believers at conversion into the Body of Christ and bestows upon them His gifts sovereignly as He wills and fills those yielded to Him

Mankind

The Holy Spirit

Salvation

We believe that Adam was divinely created in the image of God

  • That by the sin of disobedience he fell from that state
  • That all his posterity inherited spiritual depravity and defilement
  • That all men therefore are guilty before God and condemned to physical and spiritual death

Salvation

The Holy Spirit

Salvation

We believe that salvation is by the sovereign grace of God

  • That by the Father, Christ voluntarily suffered a propitiatory death
  • That justification is by faith alone in the all-sufficient sacrifice and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ
  • That those whom God has effectually called shall be divinely preserved and ultimately perfected in the image of the Lord
