Local Ministries
Free to BeFree to Be offers schools and community groups a range of educational peer-taught components for 10-to-18 year old youth. Through workshops, curricula and teen panels offered throughout Northern California, they empower teens with knowledge, tools, motivation and support to make positive life choices, including abstinence until marriage. Their interactive educational components and support activities promote building healthy relationships, making well thought-out decisions, and setting goals for the future. FTS began in 1992 with a handful of volunteers and a vision to reach the youth of Sonoma County. Hanna Skandera was co-director of F2B at its inception, helping develop the program, writing the curriculum, and securing the original grant funding. Numerous SRCC youth have participated in F2B through the years. Lauretta Lewis is currently serving as Community Outreach Coordinator at Free to Be. Learn more about Free to Be. |
Redwood Gospel MissionThe Redwood Gospel Mission ministers to those in need in our community so lives can be transformed. The Mission staff offers a variety of programs including feeding and providing shelter for the homeless. Both men and women are served in separate locations. There is a 12-step residential New Life Recovery Program at the Mission for the men and at both the Rose and the Manna Homes for women. In addition, there are many events throughout the year serving our community. We have many in our church family who volunteer to work in these various ministry opportunities. Some of the men from the New Life Program attend church with us. Learn more about Redwood Gospel Mission. |
Sonoma County Law Enforcement Chaplaincy ServiceThe Sonoma County Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Service was founded in 1998. Our own JR Young was in the first class of the Law Enforcement Academy and has been the catalyst for the growth and acceptance of this ministry since its inception. The mission of the Chaplaincy Service is to respond to requests from law enforcement and other first responders throughout Sonoma County and provide immediate emotional support and follow-up care to them and to the members of our community who have suffered tragedy and loss. The chaplaincy is an interfaith community of compassionate volunteers without religious, political, or legal agendas. Currently, several members of our church family are actively serving as chaplains monthly. Learn more about Sonoma County Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Service. |
