Who We are

Welcome to RGM

In the grace and power of Jesus Christ, thousands of people in Sonoma County have poured themselves out for the hungry and afflicted through the ministry of the Redwood Gospel Missions.

And because of their efforts, a light has shown in the darkness. It is a light which is much more than the landmark neon “Jesus Saves” sign that lights up the corner of 6th and Wilson for the last 5 decades.

Our Mission

The Redwood Gospel Missions, in the grace and power of Jesus Christ, mobilizes our community to minister to the needy so that lives are transformed.

Redwood

Redwood represents the geographical area of our service community, the “Redwood Empire.”  We serve all of Sonoma County, also reaching out to the surrounding counties which have no Rescue Ministries.

Gospel

Gospel is from the Latin word for good news. It is our desire to bring the good news of Christ’s salvation to everyone we serve and to bring the good news of hope for an improved life through the various services we provide. 

Mission

Mission is not intended to imply simply a building. We define “Mission” as a purpose or aim.  It is our objective or mission, that lives would be transformed through mobilizing and equipping people in this community to minister to the needy.

Gospel

Gospel is from the Latin word for good news. It is our desire to bring the good news of Christ’s salvation to everyone we serve and to bring the good news of hope for an improved life through the various services we provide.

Ways to Get Involved

Serve

Serving is one of the best ways to not only bless others, but experience blessing yourself. When you get involved, lives are changed. See how you can help serve!

Learn

Knowledge frees people to serve without fear. We partner with local churches in both Sonoma County and Mendocino County to serve the poor and needy in our community.

Connect & Pray

Connection and prayer make this ministry so different and so life-changing for everyone involved. If you’re looking for new ways to connect, let us know.

Give

Your partnership makes a difference in our community! "The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor." — Proverbs 22:9
