Welcome to Our Church Website.
I greet you in the name of our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as pastor of Cedar Ridge Freewill Baptist Church. I want to personally extend a cordial invitation to you to visit us anytime at God's house in the Cracker's Neck section of Big Stone Gap, Virginia. Whether you yearn to hear God's word preached and taught in its power and might, desire to attend a spirit-filled church, don't have a home church or are merely visiting the area please come visit us. We are a small community with a big heart for God and His way.
If you long to hear anointed preaching and singing, love fellowshipping, and believe in altar prayer, you will be at home at our church. We are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and we strive to praise God and put Him first in all things.
Whether you're looking for a loving church, seeking to serve a risen Savior, or heartbroken and searching for answers...come to God's house...He has the answers! We at Cedar Ridge would love to have you join us as we seek, learn and grow in our spiritual walk with God through Jesus.
At Cedar Ridge, we believe in the one, true, living God. We believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ -- there is only one way to God and this is through the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible is the true, inspired, infallible word of God and that Jesus is the son of God--God manifested in the flesh. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His Blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, The Church. We serve God every day as we go through this life. Won't you please join with us in worship of Him this week? We love you and look forward to worshipping God with you in our next service!

Savior Jesus Christ. Prayer meetings are a time set aside for prayer requests,
testimonies, sharing of God’s word and studies of specific topics of interest to the
membership/congregation.
We are begining a new email prayer request service. This will send an email to you whenever a prayer request is submitted. This way, we make sure that all of our Church Family will be notified of any emergencies, requests or notices that may otherwise be missed.
