“Looking Unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of Our Faith” - Hebrews 12:2

Ridgewood Baptist Church and Academy is an independent Baptist fellowship of Christian believers that serves the Joliet, Illinois, region and—through missions—the world. Building this ministry for over 100 years, it is our desire to serve through worship and prayer services, Sunday school, a Christian school for the community, an effective deaf ministry, a community outreach program, and various avenues of service to the Lord. Much more than a Sunday ministry, Ridgewood Baptist Church seeks to be a vital, living servant each day.
