"Today, as The Ridge Church prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, it’s still focused on expansion, but in a different sense, said Roger Johnson, who’s been the pastor here since 1994.

"Rather than keep making the church building in Villa Ridge bigger to accommodate more people, members are looking for new ways of outreach, like the coffee shop.

"Last year The Ridge merged with a church in Gerald that had been without a pastor and was down to around 15 members. Now, with the internet, The Ridge is able to upload video of its weekly sermon online for the Gerald members to watch each Sunday in their church.

“When we went to multiple campuses, we wanted to have a common name to draw all the churches together,” said Johnson." ~ The Missourian, By Karen Cernich, July 5, 2017
