Some are meant to serve out front in view of people. Others are designed to thrive behind the scenes. Our media ministry provides an avenue for both. The Ridgecrest media ministry exists as a microphone from right here in Dothan to the world, as well as a way to enhance the church’s work to people in our church and community. This area is absolutely essential to helping our members and guests have a positive Sunday experience, whether in person or online.
