Mission & Community
“Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink, a stranger and took you home, or naked and clothed you? When did we see you ill or in prison and come to visit you?” And the King will answer, “I tell you this: anything you did for my brothers here, however humble, you did for me”. Matthew 25:37 – 40.
​
Our mission at Kirkridge is to be a helping hand to those who are in need locally, nationally and globally. Through our offerings to God, donations of food and goods and fundraising we help support dozens of organizational efforts every year.
​
The generosity of the members of Kirkridge has enabled us to reach many in our community and worldwide. Through these efforts we can spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ giving to those who receive the opportunity to learn of Jesus’ love through our actions. We are obeying Jesus commission
“Go ye into all the world and preach my Gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15.
Jesus taught love one another.
​
We continue to show our love through our mission work at Kirkridge Presbyterian Church.

Matthew 25
The Matthew 25 invitation focuses on Matthew 25: 31-46, the parable of the sheep and goats in which Jesus makes clear, that what we do matters to God and how we treat others is important to God.
When we welcome others, we welcome Christ; when we bring together people who are divided, we are doing God’s reconciling work. We are called to serve Jesus by contributing to the well-being of the most vulnerable in all societies – rural and urban, small and large, young and not-so-young. From affordable housing to community gardens to equitable educational and employment opportunities to healing from addiction and mental illness to enacting policy change – there is not just one way to be a part of the Matthew 25 movement.
Make no mistake, Jesus is calling us to perform ordinary acts of compassion in daily life. In so doing, we continue Christ’s work of proclaiming release to captives and good news to the poor — the good news of God’s righteousness, justice and peace for all.
