What will you do?
Students and volunteers will assist in outreach to kids through sports camps and Vacation Bible School, construction work with local partner organizations, and furniture delivery to newly arrived refugees, we can give practical assistance, make personal connections, and share the gospel. We want to utilize your unique gifts and talents. They ask if anyone wishing to participate has any experience in construction and building trades, they would gladly welcome your professional skills. However, all skill sets are welcome, and they are eager to give us opportunities to connect with their community and share the love of Jesus!

Fundraisers
There will be TWO opportunities for students to raise money through fundraisers.* The fundraisers that we are currently planning are:
Envelope Fundraiser (November)
The Envelope Fundraiser will begin November 2 on the bulletin board outside the main office. Each envelope contains a donation amount and a prayer prompt—simply choose an envelope, give that amount, and pray for our team. Envelopes and donations can be turned in to the church office, with checks made payable to Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church and noted for the St. Louis Mission Trip Fundraiser.
Goal: $3500
St. Louis Dinner (April)
New this year we will host a dinner for attendees and their families. The amount of money we raise will be divided among the students who attend and help with the event.
Goal: $2000
*Fundraiser proceeds are reserved for those who have paid their deposit. Funds are first divided out between the participants who have served at the fundraisers. If you need help raising more funds, need-based scholarships may be available.
