And He said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

Mark 16:15

MISSION FOR 2025

Based upon input from our church family and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Ridgecrest Baptist Church has developed five major areas of focus and two planned international opportunities for missions in 2025:


MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS:

Gospel Outreach and Community Engagement

Service Projects and Food Ministries

Missions Conference

Evangelism Training Opportunities

International Missions

2025

Planned Missions TRIPS

Mission Partners

At Ridgecrest Baptist Church, we believe that being a mission partner is more than just a financial relationship.  It involves consistent communication, direct participation, and most importantly, it involves the fervent and focused prayer of our church family.  For 2025, God guided our church in identifying the following mission partners:

CRU

Stefan and Beth Helm minister to college students from all around the globe. As CRU missionaries they seek to share the Gospel with those who have never heard about Jesus. As they minister to college students they also help to build up Christ followers in their faith and help them to have an influence on their campus. Currently Stefan and Beth help to evangelize, develop, train, and plant CRU groups in colleges and universities throughout America. Please pray for Stefan and Beth as they minister to college students. 

All nations

Matt and Kim Clark are the co-founders of All Nations, a ministry that establishes, equips, and networks neighborhood engagement teams to display the love and message of Christ by building relationships with their foreign-born neighbors. All Nations was formed in 2018 while Matt and Kim were serving as Evangelism Catalysts with the North American Missions Board.
