Care & Community
Offering space, support, and connection for our church and local community
Care & Community at Hope Ridge reflects our commitment to hospitality, compassion, and presence. Through hosted groups, shared space, and community partnerships, we welcome opportunities that support individuals and families during seasons of need, healing, and growth. Some of the gatherings listed below are facilitated by community partners or independent organizations. Others are led by members of Hope Ridge.

Spiritual Care Practices
Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is a contemplative prayer practice rooted in silence, stillness, and openness to God’s presence. Our weekly gatherings are open to all and offers a quiet space for reflection and shared silent prayer together.
If you cannot attend our weekly gatherings, you can practice centering prayer on your own, at your own pace. Check out our webpage for resources and recaps, which are great for beginners.
