Do you want to study the Bible?

Do you want your children to know the God of the Bible?

Welcome to the Park Ridge CBS class website! Join us for an in-depth study of God’s Word, where our mission is "To make disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ in our communities through caring, in-depth Bible study, available to all;" and the vision is "Transformed lives through the Word of God". This year we are offering all of our core groups on Tuesday: morning core groups for men & women, online core groups for women, and evening core groups for men & women from 6-7:30. Our Tuesday morning has an amazing children’s program for nursery through preschool and a homeschool program for 1st-8th grade. Studying God’s Word as a family is priceless! We trust and pray that you’ll find a caring community in whichever core works best for you.

MINISTRIES

Next Gen Ministry

Through creative Bible lessons, music, prayer, Scripture memory work, crafts, and gym activities, we provide a nurturing environment where our babies through kindergarten can learn about Jesus and His wonderful love for them.

Beginning in our elementary classes, we come alongside parents as they teach and train their school-aged children to live out God’s truths in their lives as they study the same Scriptures as the adult class each week. We desire to help this audience learn to find truth in Scripture for themselves, and apply it in their own lives, as our leaders help point our participants to faith in Jesus Christ.

We welcome your children to experience the love of Jesus through our CBS Next Gen Ministry!
