Blue Ridge Church Vision
We are people of diverse backgrounds who have found that life is at its best when found in Jesus Christ. We fellowship together and work together to expand God's Kingdom in our area. We seek to meet the needs of those that come to our church.
At Blue Ridge our priorities are simple: To love each other, to love our Savior, and to share Jesus' love with our world. Blue Ridge is a place of excitement and growth. We specialize in ministering to the needs of families. We at Blue Ridge love children and youth and provide monthly activities for them to fellowship together. Our Bible Study classes "meet and eat" outside the walls of the church often as well.
We invite you to come join us for worship and Bible study. You will find the atmosphere casual and comfortable, the worship dynamic and upbeat, the messages practical and positive.
Opportunities to worship: Sunday Bible study for all ages is at 9:45 am and Worship Celebration at 11:00 am. Bible study on Sundays and Wednesdays @ 5 pm in our Fellowship Hall and the coffee pot is always on.

Sep 21st - National Back to Church Sunday!
Join thousands of churches across the country for Back to Church Sunday—the largest, single-day outreach event designed to help the local church reach unchurched people in their communities and invite them to get connected to the hope, care, love a church like ours can provide.
This Year’s Theme: Life is Better Together
Life isn’t meant to be lived alone, and faith isn’t meant to be experienced in isolation. Jesus promises to be present when we gather together, and that’s why the Church isn’t just a building—it’s a community where we can find encouragement, purpose, and hope.
On September 21st invite everyone in your neighborhood to visit your church, find a supportive community and discover how God’s love and salvation give new purpose and hope.

Once there, each of Israel's twelve tribes was given sections of the land to occupy, and the people began life in their new home. As they grew in numbers they became a Nation and through the prophet Samuel and earthly king was chosen. Join us for an enlightening study "The Kings"
