One of Whyte Ridge Baptist’s goals is to create a number of Connecting Points where you can foster Christ-honoring friendships. We hope, as you familiarize yourself with these opportunities, that one or two of these connecting points will be of interest to you and fit your schedule!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our pastoral staff or the contact people listed with each ministry.
