Local Mission
Highland Christian School
Highland Christian School seeks to provide a beginning learning experience in a Christan environment where every child is loved, respected, and valued for his/her uniqueness. We seek to provide a balanced curriculum that focuses on the physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs of the young child. For more information, please contact Sue Peterson at highlandchristian@hotmail.com or visit www.highlandchristianschool.com.
Young Life Partnership
We support a Young Life intern who connects with kids in the nieghborhoods around the church through club meetings, personal support/mentoring, and summer camp. Please visit www.younglife.org for more information.
Benevolence Fund
This fund helps those who need assistance like paying bills, buying groceries, putting gas in the car.
Food Pantry
Stocked with non-perishable goods and household items, our food pantry offers those in need something to put on the table when times get tough.
Community Projects
We are constantly on the lookout for ways to serve and bless our local community, particularly the Crossroads neighborhood. This has included various things such as support for the teachers and staff of Highland Middle School as well as food and toy drives for local families. We are also been involved in the annual Jubilee Service Day, which helps local elementary schools get ready for fall.
Saturday Homeless Breakfast in Seattle
Once a month several Highland people go to First Covenant Church in Seattle to meet with and serve breakfast with the homeless population in that particular nieghborhood. For more information please contact Pastor Dave Shelton at info@highlandcovenant.com.
