Murray's Final Ride to Thrive

For the past six years, cyclists, churches, and generous supporters have come together through Ride to Thrive to make a difference around the world. 

Together, we have raised more than $891,000 for ministry and humanitarian initiatives. 

This year, our goal is $200,000. If reached, Ride to Thrive will surpass $1 million raised in its seventh and final year. 

Together, we can invest in the next generation of Christian leaders serving in South Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. 

"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others."

2 Timothy 2:2

THIS YEAR'S PROJECT

The church grows stronger when leaders invest in the next generation. 

Through mentoring, leadership development, and ministry training, emerging leaders will be equipped, encouraged, and empowered to serve effectively in their communities and ministries.

  • Equip emerging pastors and ministry leaders 
  • Support leadership development gatherings and training opportunities 
  • Encourage leaders serving in challenging circumstances
