LOCAL
We believe that simple acts of service can open people’s hearts to the love of Jesus and the spiritual needs in their life so we are committed to serving our city by partnering with local organizations and nonprofits to meet physical needs in our community.
We do this through hosting Serve Days throughout the year, Small Group Serve Projects and our annual outreach event, RVA Week. RVA Week is in partnership with churches all across the nation for Serve Day. To find out more about Serve Day and other churches involved, check out serveday.com.

Upcoming Missions Trips:
Peru | July 23-29, 2023
Kenya | October 15-21, 2023
We partner with Camino De Vida, which is a church in Lima, Peru that is committed to see lives change by Jesus through the Word of God.
Each year, we send a group to Peru through Camino De Vida with one simple mission: spread God’s love to those in need. Everyone who makes the trip raises money, not only to make the trip, but also to help provide funds for things like wheelchairs, food and resources. On recent trips we had the honor of handing out lunches to the homeless, assembling and delivering wheelchairs and helped to renovate a women’s shelter. Check out this recap video below from a group that partnered with CDV in 2019!
Our next Missions trip to Peru will be July 23-29, 2023. Stay tuned for more information!
If you’d like to partner with us financially or serve on the next Missions trip to Peru, email us at missions@theheightschurch.com or give online now.
One Child is a child sponsorship organization that pairs a sponsor with a child to help provide everyday essentials such as food, clean water, housing, and medical attention. While many organizations have a similar mission, One Child significantly separates themselves in how they implement this mission. In every location that One Child operates, they partner with a local church. They place Child Champions alongside the pastors and church leaders to help train and equip them to grow their local community. They do this by teaching structure, organization, budgeting, and leadership to the church leaders and helping them expand their vision and care for their community. By doing this, the church transforms from barely surviving to thriving.
By sponsoring hundreds of children through One Child, Heights Church empowers the communities surrounding each of those children. We help provide education, medical care, food, and hope to a child in desperate need. And most importantly, we are doing it all in Jesus’ Name!
Each year we travel to Kenya and every other year to the Philippines to visit the villages our sponsored children live in with one simple mission: spread God’s love to those in need. Everyone who makes the trip raises money, not only to make the trip, but also to help provide additional resources and gifts for our sponsored children and their child champions. Check out this recap video below from our most recent mission trip in partnership with One Child!
Our next Missions trip to Kenya will be October 15-21, 2023. Stay tuned for more information!
