CITIES

The Height’s Car Care Ministry is designed to provide basic automotive maintenance services at no cost and on a regular basis to our widows, single moms, and single women in our church. This will be a true “justice” ministry, as those within The Heights, who are knowledgeable in car maintenance can help those who need assistance. Skilled and apprentice mechanics are needed. Events are scheduled on Saturdays from 7 am – 12 pm and generally in February, June, and October.

There are many opportunities to minister to adults with cognitive disabilities in our community. Many group home members have families out of state or unable to visit, so forming ongoing relationships with caring Christian individuals helps to meet the needs for family, fellowship and love that so many cognitively challenged adults desire.

Circle of Friends volunteers host a fellowship of about 75 adults with cognitive disabilities on the first 3 Tuesdays of each month throughout the school year.

Cornerstone currently feeds 200 homeless men and women three times a week. The Heights sponsors every third Thursday of the month, but volunteers are needed for the following serving times:

• Tuesdays, 9:30 am to 1:00 pm
• Thursdays, 9:30 am to 1:00 pm
• Sundays, 4:45 am to 7:00 am

We provide the living and active Word of God to women in the South Dallas area.

Volunteer opportunities are available for Thursday Bible Studies and include:

• Greeters
• One-on-one conversations with the women
• Administrative helpers
• Room setup helpers
• Coordinators and servers for breakfasts

Other opportunities include:

• Housekeeping
• Seasonal decorating

The Way is a ministry partner of The Heights that exists to share the revolutionary love of Christ with women involved in the adult nightclub industry. Their goal is to awaken hope and empower change as they minister to these women and connect them to community and spiritual resources. Every month, there are opportunities for you to be a part of:

• Club Teams – these teams go into the clubs and actively build relationships in order to share the gospel.
• Prayer Team- this team meets to pray for the Club Teams while they visit the clubs.
• Hospitality Team – this team prepares gifts for the women prior to club night.

The Prayer Shawl team is made up of a committed group of women who knit “shawls” for those who are undergoing various illnesses and life struggles. This ministry began in 2005. Over the years, the “knitters” have given over 4,000 prayer shawls to people in need. These include baby blankets, blankets for children, shawls for women and lap throws for men. There is always a need for another “knitter” on the team.

TBM mobilizes Christ followers to change the world, tackling its biggest challenges by meeting crucial needs after disasters, providing clean drinking water for people around the globe, and equipping the next generation to make a difference for years to come. Both men and women serve in the more than 17 ministries that TBM offers, including disaster relief, builders, medical / dental, agricultural, and water purification. There are opportunities to serve locally, nationally, and internationally – for both skilled and unskilled volunteers.

Quilted Blessings Ministry is made up of a group of faithful Heights’ women who quilt for those in need. This ministry began in 2014 because these ladies felt called to combine their love for quilting and their passion for serving others. So far, over 200 quilts have been created and donated to orphans through our missions’ partner in Bulgaria and other local ministries.
