Autumn Ridge takes part in global community work through individuals (global workers or missionaries) and through partner organizations.
Our Philosophy
Love is the Agenda.
Our Global Workers and partners share our commitment to loving others and serving their needs. We prioritize our global efforts to have the greatest impact on global communities. As we love others and help meet their basics needs, we share the good news of Jesus and the greatness of his love with the world.
Mission Trips
We hold several missions trips each year, with destinations in both Honduras and West Africa. These trips are designed to serve and love our neighbors around the world, providing for both practical and spiritual needs.
Global Workers and Missionaries
We partner with a variety of global workers, supporting their efforts to love people all around the world. The families and individuals we partner with align with our Mission, Vision, and Values and focus on loving people--not changing them. The ultimate goal is to see the world come to follow Jesus and live according to his ways, but we believe that it is God who changes hearts, not us. The focus of our global workers is to love people and to share the story of Jesus and how he has changed their lives. We do not coerce people toward faith, we simply love them and share our faith.
Compassion Evangelical Hospital and Community
Compassion Evangelical Hospital was founded by members of Autumn Ridge Church and is a key part of our global initiatives. This hospital is focused on training and developing local people to provide expert medical care for the communities in West Africa. In providing this expert care, the hospital also shares the message of Jesus as the motivation for loving people through medical care.
CEH has expanded to include not only a clinic, but also a school, an after-school program, and more. The campus has been expanding to further meet the needs of the community in Guinea.
Ghana and Emmanuel "Muss" Mustafa
We are also very involved with another organization in West Africa that focuses on building relationships with people and planting local churches. Muss has helped plant over a thousand churches in Ghana and is focused on leadership development in the communities of West Africa.
Nueva Esperanza, Honduras
Autumn Ridge has partnered with a team in Tegucigalpa, Honduras to provide education, after school activities, and daycare for locals. This team lives onsite in Tegucigalpa and also hosts regular mission trips for students, adults, and families from our church.
