Our Story
West Ridge has been part of the Fayetteville, AR community for over 50 years, beginning with a small group of believers and continuing as a place of worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth.
​
From the beginning, our desire has been to remain faithful to Scripture while building a church community marked by humility, love, and a commitment to Christ.
Our Mission & Beliefs
Our mission is to follow Christ faithfully by teaching Scripture, growing together in fellowship, and sharing the Gospel with others.
We believe:
-
The Bible is the Word of God and our guide for faith and life.
-
Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone.
-
God’s grace is freely offered to all.
As a Free Will Baptist church, we hold to the historic teachings of the Christian faith while emphasizing personal faith, responsibility, and the call to live a life devoted to Christ.
What We Support
We believe the Gospel is for all people, and we are committed to supporting its work beyond our local church.
​
Through prayer and giving, we partner with missionaries, ministries, and Free Will Baptist organizations that are serving others and sharing Christ both locally and around the world.
Free Will Baptist History
Free Will Baptists trace their roots to the early Baptist movement of the 1600s, with a distinct emphasis on the belief that God’s grace is freely offered to all and that each person has the freedom to respond.
​
This tradition emphasizes the authority of Scripture, the importance of personal faith in Christ, and the call to live a life of faithful obedience.
