Remembering George

🌿 “Take a moment before doing anything—and focus on God.”

That quiet invitation—one of George Moore’s many simple but profound teachings—was shared recently on our Glory Ridge Facebook page. What followed surprised and blessed us: over 2,800 people paused to read. More than 100 responded with likes, shares, and heartfelt comments. It was clear that George’s words still speak deeply, even now.

In a world that moves fast and rarely waits, George encouraged us to do the opposite: to pause. To breathe. To remember that God is already present, already working, already waiting to guide us. It’s a spiritual practice rooted in humility and trust—one George lived out, not only in his ministry, but in the everyday rhythms of life at Glory Ridge.

The outpouring of engagement reminded us of something we can’t forget: George built more than a camp. He built relationships. Through his honesty, humor, and deep integrity, he welcomed people from every walk of life into something larger than themselves. Whether it was a camper, a community member, or a volunteer with dirt under their fingernails, George made space for everyone—and made each person feel seen.

And that’s still happening today.

Many of the comments on that post came from people who served alongside him, or who were shaped by the ministry of Glory Ridge over the years. Others came from folks who never met George, but who now carry his spirit forward—in worship, in service, in how they lead and love others.

That, perhaps more than anything, is the legacy of George Moore: a life lived for God, and a community still marked by that calling. He reminded us that our work—however small or ordinary—can be worship. That slowing down to focus on God is not just wise, it’s necessary. That faith, when grounded in real relationships, has the power to transform.

We are grateful for the response to that post. Not just because of the numbers, but because of what it showed us: that George is still pointing people toward the heart of God. That his voice, his vision, and his values continue to live on in this community.

As summer approaches and a new season at the Ridge begins, we’re mindful of all the ways George’s spirit remains with us. In the songs we sing, in the way we welcome others, in every act of service done with love—we remember.

Thank you for joining us in that remembrance. Thank you for carrying the vision forward.

And thank you, George.
