Outreach at Virginia-Highland Church

Virginia-Highland Church participates in community outreach in many ways.

Intown Community Assistance
We participate in campaigns collecting clothing, food, and other goods for this agency that provides support to the homeless and poor in our neighborhood. We also raise funds for this and other mission projects through an annual bake sale during the Virginia-Highland Summerfest and an annual yard sale.

National and International Missions
We donate funds to the National and International Missions of the Alliance of Baptists, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and United Church of Christ. These funds go to support programs in impoverished communities in the US and around the world.

Quality Care for Children
We participate in a partnership with this agency that provides education and assistance to parents to ensure that their children receive care in and out of the home that promotes healthy mental and physical development. We have co-sponsored a Quality Play playgroup which helps teach parents how to play with their small children in ways that stimulate developing brains, and plan to offer classes on various parenting topics in the future.

Shared Space
We make our facilities available at discounted rates to community groups needing a place to hold meetings and events. Some groups that have used our building include 12-step programs, preservation groups, and religious associations.
