What it reported doing in 2024

To provide evangelistic and humanitarian outreach services: Highland Lighthouse Church Inc. recognizes the proclamation of the gospel is an exclusive religious activity for the soul of mankind but also recognizes we are taught to care for humanitarian needs as James chapter 2 verses 15 and 16 declares: "If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food and one of you says to them Go in peace be warmed and filled without giving them the things needed for the body what good is that? So also faith by itself if it does not have works is dead". This year we were able to assist in the most basic of needs by providing meals on Wednesdays and Sundays to individuals and families free of charge. Out biggest event continues to be Thanksgiving week when we not only provide meals but distribute food to families in need within our local community.
