World Missions
Our World Mission Team desires to follows the Lord in leading Rimrock to “the ends of the earth” by partnering with international and cross-cultural missionaries.  God has blessed this desire with some incredible missionary partners; some raised at Rimrock, all whom we have grown to love, pray for, and provide financial assistance to build deep meaningful relationships. We also want to encourage Rimrockers to experience cross cultural ministry. We enjoy being a resource of prayer, encouragement, and financial assistance as He leads Rimrockers to participate in short-term missions. To apply for short-term mission support, please email Kelly Weischedel, our Missions Coordinator at missions@rimrockchurch.com.

International Students (ISI)

Hands of Faith 

Kevin and Heather Fannin, along with their team, provide hospitality, love, and care for college students as they come from around the world to Rapid City for their education. They have a desire to intentionally share the Gospel of Christ. Are you interested in helping an international student feel welcome? Some ways include: inviting students to join you in activities as a “friendship family”, helping at the International House, contributing to meals once per semester, and greeting students when they attend our services. Kevin and Heather can be reached at thefannins@gmail.com.

India Evangelical Team (IET)

The Omat Family: Friday, Karen, along with their children Malachi, Miriam, Judah, and Asa Omot serve with Africa Inland Mission (AIM) in Northern Kenya, at Northern Bible Training Center. Their goal is to equip and disciple young men and women from Unreached People Groups with a deeper understanding of the Gospel. Karen is the daughter of former pastor Steve and Marsha Balsley and she grew up in Rimrock. The Omats desire to see the Gospel go from locals to their own people, helping people to worship the Lord in their own languages and cultures.

Rimrock is in its second five-year partnership with IET. We are blessed as we partner with 30 pastor-evangelists who are sharing the good news of Jesus in hard-to-reach places, with an aim to establish churches. Rimrockers pray regularly for our missionary partners at IET, helping to form a friendly bond between Rimrock and the Global Church.
