International Missions
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
- Matthew 25:40, NIV
Our three missionary partners have deep seated ties to the local community and our congregation. All of them went to school here locally and the Ringenberg family were members of our church. Dave and Linda Ringenberg were youth group leaders here before going into the missionary field. Our former pastor, Steve Locke, went on two short term mission trips to South Africa in support of Kelly Kosky’s ministries.
Baja Presbyterian Mission is outreach through the Presbytery to our neighbors to the south.
