SERVICE PROJECTS
Higher Things is proud to announce the addition of service projects at our Dying Church Rising Hope conferences. As attendees gather around the Gifts of Christ Jesus, they will have the opportunity to serve their neighbors. This year, our efforts will support Christian Friends of New Americans and Marisol Health, two organizations caring for those in need within their communities. We are grateful to work with organizations doing this important work and excited to give our youth the opportunity to serve.
