7th-12th Grade Ministry



“You are the salt of the earth...
You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden... let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."

Matthew 5:13-16

No matter where someone is on their faith journey everyone is welcome to SALT. This group is meant to be a safe, non judgement and an open space for all students. The journey one follows in Christ isn't always easy, in fact as a teenager it can be incredibly hard. We are here to support one another and help each other better understand what it means to be a child of Christ. Have questions about your faith? Want to see what we are all about? Come join us! We'd love to have you!

SALT consists of meeting every Monday from 6:00pm - 7:30pm for Bible study, worship and fellowship.
Dinner is served at each meeting at 6:00pm. If anyone wishes to come early to help prepare dinner they are more than welcome to.

We are currently meeting at our church office with every last Monday being up at Grace Lutheran church in Longview, Wa. Transportation is available for those that need it.
Coming Fall 2023...

Adria Charles - Director of Youth and Families

Get to know Adria

Adria met her adventure buddy and husband, Matthew, 13 years ago and they moved to Ridgefield in 2017. She graduated from WSU with a degree in psychology and began her passion of working with youth who were going through many different walks of life right after graduation. When her oldest daughter was born she set aside her love for social work and became a stay at home mom. Raising two vivacious daughters; Emma who is now seven and Spencer who is three, never stopped her from staying connected within her community through volunteer work over the years. She has continuously given to her community and is now working as the Director of Youth and Family Ministry at Christ Community where God has blessed her with the opportunity to continue her passion working with youth. When she isn't spending time with family on one adventure or another she is running ultra marathons, carrying out her passion for photography,  reading or tending to her many plants. Adria has a plethora of ideas for her ministry work and is excited to share them with the youth and their families at Christ Community.
