OUR HISTORY!

A Century of Impact
Harriet S. Heyer, Founder
From its humble beginnings in a rented space on East Post Road, the church rapidly grew into a thriving congregation committed to worship, missions, and community outreach.
In the early years, the church weathered challenges—from economic downturns to war-time transitions—yet never lost sight of its purpose. Through each season, our community leaned on prayer, unity, and a deep commitment to biblical truth.

Our History

Building for the Future
By the mid-20th century, Ridgeway had established its permanent location, expanded its facilities, and welcomed a growing number of families, missionaries, and seekers.
In 2007, we joyfully commemorated 100 years of God’s faithfulness. Through this centennial celebration, we honored the past while looking ahead to the future—a future marked by continued discipleship, outreach, and innovation.

Our History!

A Global Vision
As part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, Ridgeway has proudly supported dozens of missionaries around the world.
Our congregation has sent out men and women to serve in nations across Africa, Asia, and South America, all with the shared goal of spreading the love and message of Jesus to unreached people groups.
