Welcome to our website! It’s been my privilege and pleasure to hold the top leadership post at Cedar Ridge since April of 1981. As the Administrator/C.E.O., I serve alongside some of the most dedicated, caring, talented and committed folks in the world. Our slogan is Making a Difference…One Life at a Time, and God has allowed us to accomplish this in a massive way through our various ministries: Boy’s Home, Special Ed. School, Adventures Network and WCRH Radio.
As you navigate through this site and learn more about Cedar Ridge, I believe that you, too, will be impressed with what God has done and continues to do through His servants that lead each one of our ministry areas. It is truly a team effort to accomplish all that we do. One very important unseen aspect of our team is those who pray for and financially support this ministry. If God leads you to make some kind of commitment, whether it be prayer or finances, we have opportunities just waiting for you. We’d love to meet with you, show you around the campus and share our work with you firsthand. Feel free to contact us with your questions or to set up an appointment to tour Cedar Ridge.
To God be the glory for all He has done. How grateful we are to have played some small role in building His kingdom! Take care and God bless!
