Community Outreach

Backpacks

Towards the end of every summer, Ridge members collect school supplies then load them in brand new backpacks for kids in the community.

All ages of Ridge members help pack backpacks in a cafeteria-style assembly line.

Masks

At the onset of the COVID crisis, Ridge members initiated a mask campaign, both making and delivering masks to nursing homes, frontline healthcare workers, friends and members. About 300 handmade masks were cut, sewn and delivered.


Abilene Police and Firefighters

To show Abilene’s police and firefighters that the Ridge continually supports and prays for them, members delivered locally made cinnamon roles, flavored popcorn, pizza suppers and hand-written notes to stations and firehouses. We continually look for ways to make positive impressions in our community that can serve as a catalyst for conversations about God.

Ridge members Joanne Tackett and Kim Dennis deliver cinnamon rolls and popcorn to Abilene Police Officer Scooter Thompson and Dispatcher Will Walton.

Wildcat Week

The Remington Ridge family annually reaches out to new students at Abilene Christian University through the school’s Wildcat Week Block Party event. Members meet and greet new students while distributing bottles of cold water and prepackaged desserts.

Ridge member Doug Gray offers Mrs Bairds pies to new ACU students while inviting them to visit Remington Ridge.

Huddles Ministry

Teams of members support Huddles and Huddles Jr. on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. during the school year, feeding 60 or more young people and workers, teaching youth Bible classes, coordinating and leading group activities and visiting with parents, all in an effort to infuse God in the lives of families from throughout our community. Huddles are for high school students (grades 9-12) and junior high (grades 6-8). Huddles Jr. are for kinder-3rd grade and 4th-5th grade.

Social Media

Great Bible Challenge

Ridge members created a Facebook group called The Great Bible Challenge in April 2020 to help people intentionally read and study the Bible, specifically in a 64-day format that covers the entire Bible. Participants watch one short video daily produced by The Bible Project. More study challenges continue to be created on the Facebook page The Great Bible Challenge.
