SUPPORTED MINISTRIES
Extending the Gospel Message in and Beyond Sugar Ridge
Sugar Ridge Community Church has supported a number of local, national, and international ministries throughout the years. As a small church, this is one way to extend our ministry's impact beyond the walls of our local church. Each month, the Church Board takes 10% of what is received in tithes and offerings and divides it five ways. Four-fifths of the funds are distributed to four ministries that help individuals in the local community, nationally, and beyond. One-fifth is given to the church outreach fund, which is used for programs and needs that the church can serve in the local community. In addition, we support the BG Christian Food Pantry by engaging in a quarterly food collection. You can click on any of the ministry names below to learn more about the services they provide.
