Ridgecrest offers both MFuge and Centrifuge.
Students and adults can take a hike on the many hiking trails on the Ridgecrest campus, enjoy ice cream and snacks from the Nibble Nook, have a cup of coffee or a snack from Clouds, or relax in a rocking chair on Rocking Chair Ridge.

ISAAC
Although Isaac has a voice that makes music sound easy on the ears, his life hasn’t always been a lullaby. When he was six years old he lost his biggest fan when his mother passed away. Shortly after, the music he loved as a child suddenly came to an end. It was then he realized music was God’s calling for his life and he believed in sharing the legacy of his family with this new ignited passion he held inside. As a teenager, Isaac attended the International Youth Conference in Colorado and shared the stage with Christian music artist Chris Tomlin. There his steadfast love for the Lord became a full time commitment to ministry. After completing his time at Cedarville University in 2007, Isaac set out on a unsure and uncertain pursuit of music. Throughout his musical career, he has shared the stage with several international artists including Brandon Heath, Jars of Clay, Bethany Dillon, Shane & Shane, Rachel Lampa, Taylor Sorensen, and Meredith Andrews. Today Isaac Pittman leads worship for numerous conferences, youth events and camps locally and across the United States.
