Yet the message entrusted to the church is far greater. In the Gospel of John, Jesus is revealed as the eternal Word made flesh, the Light shining in the darkness, who came so that sinners might have life in His name. Humanity lies in spiritual darkness, enslaved to sin and under judgment, but God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church in Hueytown is a community focused, gospel centered family where you can belong, grow, and thrive. We are a Southern Baptist church in the southwest Birmingham and west Bessemer area. Ridge: Students. Note to Parents: Our strategy is to walk alongside parents to help them disciple their student(s). We do this by equipping students to know, love, and follow Christ. Part of how we do this is to create a community where students think deeply about Christ, glorify God in all things, and by taking the Gospel to the nations. Gatherings There is no formal "check-in" for the student ministry. On Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, students will go to our student space to spend time in community, bible study, and prayer. Connect Each month there are numerous opportunities for students to connect with others outside of weekly scheduled gatherings. See the events section below to explore how your student(s) can connect with us. Sundays : 9:00am | Wednesdays : 5:30-7:30pm Curriculum The Gospel of John—(Spring 2026) — Wednesdays / Sundays T he Gospel of John is unlike any other Gospel account. While Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell the story of Jesus’ life and ministry from their own unique perspectives, John writes with a clear and focused purpose: that we would see who Jesus truly is and believe in Him. John carefully selects moments, miracles, and conversations that reveal something deeper than surface-level events. This Gospel invites us beyond simply knowing facts about Jesus — it calls us to see Him as the eternal Son of God, the promised Savior, and the only source of true life. From the very first chapter, John makes it clear that Jesus is not merely a teacher or moral example, but God in the flesh who has come to reveal the Father and bring salvation to the world. Throughout this series, our goal is simple: to see Jesus as the Son of God. For students, this means wrestling with the most important question they will ever face: Who is Jesus? And what does it mean to believe in Him? For parents, this series provides an opportunity to continue gospel conversations at home — helping your student not just understand Christianity, but personally trust Christ.

Giving Online GIVE ONLINE Text Text "PLEASANTRIDGEBC" to 73256 In-Person You can give in person every Sunday when the ushers pass the offering plates or find one of our drop boxes by the entrances. "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." Malachi 3:10 Why do I give? The Bible teaches Christians to be generous givers of our resources (Acts 2:42-47). Giving is an aspect of personal worship (Gen. 4:3-5; Matt. 12:41-44), and we should give with joy (2 Cor. 9:6-8). Scriptures provide a standard of giving in the Old Testament called the tithe (Mal. 3:10). The New Testament does not abolish the tithe; however, the emphasis becomes the ready participation of Christians to generously give to meet needs (Acts 4:36-37; 2 Cor. 8:2-5). Therefore, we understand giving to be our Christian duty, and we give our tithe to the Lord joyfully as a means of worship. Where does your money go? 8% of all tithes go to Cooperative Program 2% of all tithes go to the Birmingham Metro Baptist Association .5% of all tithes go to local ministries: Sav-A-Life Bessemer & The Grace Place The remaining tithes go to fund the operating expenses and ministry of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church.
