Baptist Missions Giving
A Reaching Out Ministry
At Lake Ridge Baptist Church we strongly encourage personal involvement in missions, outreach and evangelism efforts. But we also recognize the importance of empowering others in the same effort to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. In cooperation with our Baptist associations, Lake Ridge Baptist participates in seasonal special offerings to support missions work here and abroad.
Alma Hunt
The Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions (also known as the State Missions Offering of Virginia) is a joint venture of the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMUV) and the Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV). The fund makes possible special ministries, outreach projects, and initiatives uniquely connected to Virginia Baptists. The special missions is typically conducted in the month of September. For more information visit the Alma Hunt Offering for Virginia Missions website.
Annie Armstrong
The Annie Armstrong Offering® is coordinated by the North American Mission Board (NAMB). As its name might suggest, the NAMB focuses its mission efforts in North American regions (US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa), supporting over 5,000 missionaries and thousands of chaplains in areas where the gospel is often not welcome.
This special offering drive is conducted during the Easter season. For more information about how the funds are used in this special offering visit the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® website.
Lottie Moon
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® is an effort spearheaded by the International Missions Board. Established in 1888, the offering is to empower the internal missions efforts for Southern Baptists. This offering goes directly to support missionaries around the world, including salaries, medical care, housing, transportation and children’s education. As its name implies, this missions offering effort is typically emphasized during the month of December leading up to Christmas. For more information on this special offering visit IMB Lottie Moon Christmas Offering on the web.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
