HOW WE DO MISSIONS @ RB Community
We partner with organizations and people in our community, across the country, and around the globe. From San Diego to South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, we categorize these efforts based on our participation rate, an annual evaluation, and our level of available funding.
To communicate with elected members of the Missions Committee: Ginger Stauffer (Co-Chair), Terry Norwood (Co-Chair), Barbara Angius, Elliott Donald, Karissa McKenna, Stacey McClurg, Caleb Ruggiero, Ken Stephens) please contact them at missionscommittee@rbcpc.org.
Elaine Johnson is the Outreach Ministry Coordinator who organizes projects and hands on opportunities for our faith family to be of service within San Diego County. She is passionate to support people who want to give their time, talents, and treasures to bless others. If you would like to join us in helping to be the hands and heart of Jesus in our local communities, contact Elaine at (Elaine@rbcpc.org).
