I don't live nearby, but I'm interested in some of the content on this site. Am I welcome here?

Yes. This site was specifically designed as both a local and a global resource. Whether you live next door or on the other side of the planet, you're welcome to participate here.

Is this site just information about your local church?

No. While we do have information about our local congregation, Shepherd of the Ridge seeks to serve all nations according to Matthew 28:19-20. Most of this site's visitors do not live in the Cleveland/North Ridgeville area.

I'd like to join Shepherd of the Ridge church, but I don't live nearby.

We're happy to help you. First, we'd like to connect you with a local congregation, where you can get involved and be served on a more personal level. You can still participate on this site regardless of your affiliation. But if you cannot connect with a local congregation for some reason (e.g. You live far from a Christian/Lutheran church, you live in a country where Christians are persecuted, etc.), we would be willing to discuss membership options with you. Please contact us to discuss it.

I'd like some information about the technology you use.

 We use Drupal to run this website and have gained most of our information on technology from the Geeks and God podcast and community. If you have additional questions, please contact us.

I'm not a Christian. (Yes, I realize that's not a question.)

A large number of our site visitors aren't Christians but come anyway to read, listen, watch, and interact. You're welcome here, and we appreciate your insights, thoughts, and questions.
