a night to gather. a story worth sharing.
The Risen Ridge Roundup is more than a fundraising dinner. It is an evening set aside to gather around the table and celebrate what God is doing through Risen Ridge Ministry.
Throughout the evening, you'll hear stories of hope and transformation, learn more about the heart behind Risen Ridge, and see how walking alongside one person or one couple can create an impact that reaches far beyond our community.
Whether you've been part of Risen Ridge for years or you're just discovering the ministry, we'd love for you to join us.

one life at a time
a waterfall begins with only one drop of water...
look what comes from that.
At Risen Ridge, we believe there is incredible value in reaching one life at a time.
Jesus showed us this again and again throughout the Bible. In the parable of the lost sheep, He tells of a shepherd who leaves his flock of ninety-nine to go after the one sheep who has wandered away.
Not because the ninety-nine don't matter—but because the one matters that much.
That's the heart behind what we do.
We may spend an afternoon walking alongside one teenager. One couple may come through the gate looking for a way back to each other. One person may find a safe place to breathe, be heard, and encounter the love of Christ. Those guests encounter truth and freedom that only Jesus can bring.
And then something happens.
That guest goes home and peace goes with them, they go back to work and communicate clearly and with confidence, the couple goes back to their children and joy radiates from them. Hope finds its way into relationships, churches, workplaces, and communities.
Just like that first drop of water, we may not always see how far the ripple will travel.
But we believe one life is worth showing up for.
And when God transforms one life, there's no telling what He how far the ripple will reach.
