Since its very beginning, West Ridge Church has been about One Story, the story of Jesus Christ. God has done amazing things through the years, and we believe He is leading us to write the next chapter in the life of West Ridge Church. Acts 1:8 gives us a ministry strategy to start in our hometown, move out to surrounding communities and, ultimately, to the ends of the earth. Through our One Story outreach campaign, that's exactly what we're going to do! This is your opportunity to engage in a biblical mandate to reach a world in need.
As we continue to expand our reach in surrounding regions, we have a vision to launch five West Ridge Church satellite locations in five years! On September 12, the West Paulding Campus will launch as our first satellite location at Poole Elementary. Dave Cole and Steve Veale will be heading up this new campus. Visit our West Paulding Campus page for more information.
Our student ministry is growing! To expand our presence and influence on the local school campuses, we'll hire campus connectors who will get plugged in with a specific campus and engage in the lives of students. Our goal is for every student to be invited to West Ridge Church and have the opportunity to connect with the life- changing story of Jesus Christ.
In an effort to facilitate authentic and lasting community, we're designing conversation areas in our Dallas Campus common areas. Imagine a lofty living room environment where you can grab a cup of coffee and share your story with a friend. This space will include comfortable sitting areas, a coffee shop and a resource center. All resource center proceeds will support local and global outreach!
Over the last 13 years, West Ridge Church has assisted in starting nearly 50 churches across the globe. Now we are positioning ourselves to start hundreds, if not thousands, through what will be called The Launch Network. The Launch Network will be a coalition of churches that pool resources to train, fund and support church planters. It's bold, aggressive and a God-sized vision to shape our community and beyond.
For us to accomplish this One Story mission to share the story of Jesus Christ with our city, country and world, it's going to take all of us! Will you commit to pray, serve and give all you can to make One Story a reality?

SERVE and be used to make an impact, one story at a time. We have an opportunity to be used in changing the eternal stories of those around us! Find your place to get involved.
GIVE through an initial offering and a one-year financial commitment. Prayerfully consider what God would have you give, above and beyond your regular giving, toward the One Story outreach campaign. In order to secure the people, equipment and resources needed to accomplish One Story, we must raise $600,000 over the next year. Consider what role God has for you and your family in becoming a part of this God-sized vision.
