At midnight on Christmas Eve 1961 a small group of Christians gathered together in a farmhouse down a gravel road to celebrate the nativity of Christ and the birth of a new church. The church born that winter night was Pine Ridge. From its first days the church has grown strong with a deep sense of faith, hope and love. There has always remained a sense that God placed our church here in order to grow as we reach out to others who are coming to this area seeking a place to worship, grow in faith, and serve Christ.
Two years ago we celebrated the opening of our new sanctuary. It was an ambitious project, but through the hard work of many the result has been a beautiful place to worship and serve. It is clear that God is using our new building as an instrument to grow our ministry.
Since the building opened in September 2007 we have experienced a great release of energy for ministry and mission. See what is happening and be inspired by what God is accomplishing within and outside our walls.
• 135 new members joined since 2007
• 60 visitors attend worship each Sunday
• The Deacons Fund served 250+ needy families in 2008
• New small groups program is flourishing
• Church giving has increased +200% since 2004
• Giving and participation in local and global missions has grown
To continue Pine Ridge’s growth through ministry and mission, it is important that we give attention to our remaining debt of $3.5 million for the building cost. Through a three-year capital campaign, we hope to reduce this debt significantly. Please consider praying for the future of our church and the success of this campaign as we continue on our journey of faith together.
