Our mission is simple
We’re a church called to impact our city and beyond with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Neighbors on Madison’s east side since 1949.
We’re a church of all ages and backgrounds, and Jesus is the reason we’re here. We want Madison to be better off because we’re in it, and we want more people to know him.
If you’re still figuring out what you believe, that’s okay. Ask questions and take your time. We’re all on a journey, and it isn’t meant to be taken alone.
Our vision
We believe that Jesus Christ is the source of our hope, life, and passion and that through the Holy Spirit we are empowered to meet with Him and entrusted to do His work in our community and around the world, reaching beyond our walls to impact all cultures and generations for the glory of God.
What we believe
The core beliefs that shape life at Ridgeway.
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and our guide for life. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
God
We believe in the Triune God. There is only one God, but He has revealed Himself eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
Sin and redemption
We believe that in the beginning, mankind was created upright and without sin, but they chose to disobey God and walk away from him. Our sin has separated each of us from God and his purpose for our lives, and our only hope for redemption is through Jesus Christ.
Salvation
We believe that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Our salvation is a free gift from God, and not something that can be worked for or earned. All we have to do is repent of our sin and put our trust in Jesus.
Baptism
We believe that when a person makes a commitment to follow Jesus, they are to be baptized in water as an outward declaration of an inward decision. Water baptism is the next step in a person’s journey.
The Holy Spirit
We believe that when Jesus rose from the grave and ascended into heaven, He left us the Holy Spirit, the third person in the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is our comforter and empowers us to live for Christ.
Sanctification
We believe that sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding our lives to God’s Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us daily, making us more like Jesus.
The Church
We believe that The Church is God’s beautiful plan for humanity. It’s a haven of safety and a beacon of hope in a world that’s in need of Jesus. The Church is more than a building or a gathering of people. The Church is a body, a living being, of which Christ is the head. Each of us is on a different journey, writing our own unique story, but Jesus Christ is the common thread that brings us all together. Each person plays a valuable role as a member of The Church, and we are better together!
