All Are Welcome Seriously. Whether you're sure about what you believe or full of questions, whether you've been in church your whole life or this is totally new - there's a place for you here.
Ripon Roots, Future Focus We honor our 150-year history in Ripon while embracing new ways to connect and serve our community, including online ministry and digital outreach.
Quick Questions & Answers
"What should I wear?" Come as you are! You'll see everything from jeans to dress clothes. Comfort matters more than appearance.
"What if I don't know when to stand or what to say?" No worries - just follow along as you're comfortable. No one will notice if you're learning the ropes.
"Will anyone pressure me to join or give money?" Never. We want you to explore faith at your own pace. When you're ready to get more involved, we'll be here.
"Can I just slip in and out without talking to anyone?" Absolutely. While we'd love to meet you, we respect that some people prefer to observe first.
