Ridgecrest Baptist Church

About this church

Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Durham offers traditional worship at 9:15 a.m. in the worship center and Exalt worship at 10:30 in the gym. The two services give visitors a choice in style and setting. Preschool Connect Groups meet at 9:15, while preschool worship begins at 10:30 with songs, games, and Gospel Project teaching. Children's volunteers are screened, background-checked, and trained in safety procedures.

The congregation's mission is to connect people to God, one another, and neighbors through Jesus. Ridgecrest Kids adds AWANA Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. during the Durham public-school year, combining Bible memory, study, games, and fun. Summer programs include Vacation Bible School and a multiday camp for children who have completed second through fifth grade. Students share waffles and conversational Scripture study on Sunday mornings, while Wednesday youth uses games, worship, Bible teaching, and peer small groups; the schedule pauses in June and shifts around mission travel. Families should check the calendar for seasonal starts, but the dual Sunday worship times remain a straightforward first-visit choice.
