Attending Autumn Ridge for the First Time

 

What should you expect at Autumn Ridge?

When you come to Autumn Ridge for the first time you can expect to worship God in a dynamic environment.  You will be challenged to dig deeper into the Bible.  You will have an opportunity to meet new people and make connections in our café and bookstore.  We hope that you will feel welcomed into the family of God at Autumn Ridge.  There is no dress code and there are no expectations except that you prepare to meet with God in worship.

Who are we?

Autumn Ridge Church is an evangelical, non-denominational church.  This simply means that the congregation is committed to sharing the good news of Christianity, and meets as an independent church, not part of any national organization.  We welcome people from all walks of life to join us in fulfilling our mission of loving God and serving people.  Our church enjoys two services with contemporary music (Saturday at 5:30 pm and Sunday at 10:30 am) and one service with traditional music (Sunday at 9:00 am).

Where are we?

We are located in Southwest Rochester about two miles west of the Apache Mall on Salem Road just past the Olmsted County History Center.  Click here to see a map.

What about my children?

Our church welcomes people of all ages.  We have programs for youth and children during all of our worship services.  The children’s program offers a computerized check-in system that gives parents assurance of security.  Click here for more details about opportunities for your kids.

What do we believe?

We believe that God made each of us to love him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength.  We believe in sharing the love of God with others through partnerships that serve both in our local community and globally.  We believe that God meets us with complete forgiveness through his son Jesus. In worship we express our gratitude for this gift of love, even though none of us deserve it!

Explore the Ridge - Newcomers Class

Once a month we hold a class for newcomers called Explore the Ridge.  This class is specifically designed for people who are just checking out Autumn Ridge Church.  It's a great time to meet one of the Pastors and learn more about where you connect, grow and serve.  Explore the Ridge is offered during both the 9:00 and 10:30 am worship services in the Hyde Room on the Upper Level.  Keep your eyes posted on RidgeLines for the exact date of the next class.  Please join us for some coffee and donuts and a time to get your questions about Autumn Ridge Church answered.
