Volunteer & Service Opportunities

1. Safe to Sleep: The Council of Churches provides overnight shelter for homeless women at Pathways United Methodist Church at 1232 E. Dale Street. There is a need for couples or women to serve from 7 p.m. to
8 a.m. on several January nights.

2. ESL (English as a Second Language) meets Sunday afternoons from 4:30-6 p.m. at Ridgecrest. Chinese students attending Missouri State university for their EMBA degrees come to our classes;  many bring their children. We need people to invest in the lives of these children.

3. Chinese students are now arriving on the Missouri State University campus to secure an EMBA degree within the next 12 months. Enrich your life and theirs by being a friend to a student(s).  As a friend, you will meet with your student a minimum of once a month and text, email or call every couple of weeks to see how they are doing. 

For more information or to volunteer, call Julie Ellis at 417.885.5217 or send her an email.

We Serve Others


Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, Jan. 22

As part of our recognition of the Sanctity of Human Life, we will receive an offering for the Pregnancy Care Center on Jan. 22 in all services. The money will be used to help save the lives of the unborn babies in our community and provide abstinence education at Carver Middle School. How much is the Lord asking you to give?

Giving FAQs


Which account do I choose?

When you give online, you can select the ministry or tithe to which you wish to give. Choose The Lord’s Tithe for your tithe, or choose other options to support the ministries at Ridgecrest.

Can I schedule recurring donations?
Of course. You can specify whether you want your contribution to be made once, weekly, twice per month or monthly. You can set up as many schedules as you want, so it’s possible to give a weekly gift along with a monthly gift.

Will I still receive a contribution statement?
Yes, we mail your year-end giving statement to your home address.

What if I change credit cards or want to adjust the date or amount of the contribution?
You may edit or delete a future contribution at any time, including the credit card, date frequency or amount.

Is online giving secure?
Yes. We have taken steps to guarantee that the giving process is safe and secure from start to finish. All of you giving data is secured by SSL encryption. SSL means “Secure Socket Layer,” and is a security protocol that ensures communications privacy over the Internet. We use the same technology as banks and e-commerce companies such as Amazon.com does to secure your information during transactions.

Who do I speak with if I have questions?
Contact our Finance Department at 417.885.5267, and Kevin will be happy to answer any further questions.
