Church Membership

Twice a year, in the Spring and Fall, we offer ArchWays new member classes.  This four-session class will allow you to grasp the vision of our church, discover how God wants to use you in His ministry, and take the opportunity to consider a membership commitment.

If you are interested in attending the ArchWays class, please email Dorothy Morris.


Membership Application

A link to the Membership Application will be available two weeks before the next series of classes begin in the fall.  If you have questions about the application process, please e-mail Dorothy Morris.

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.





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 time are our services?

Saturdays at 5:30 PM. We call this the Emmaus service and is led by a group of singers and a band. The Emmaus Service is a family friendly service and families are encouraged to worship together.

Sundays at 9:00 AM. This is our Adoration service. It is led by a choir, organ, and orchestra. The service has a very traditional feel.

Sundays at 10:30 AM. This is the Celebration service. Like the Emmaus service the "style" is contemporary and led by a group of singers and a band.


What about your 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. Children's programming is offered during all three weekend services.




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 Ministry Center  (across from the InformationLink).  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.
