Helping Hands Ministry

Did you know Highlands has a Helping Hands Ministry? Are you a single parent, or the spouse of deployed military, or a member of our church who is unable to do a task that requires some “elbow grease” until you get back on your feet? We have men who will volunteer to help you. Give us the opportunity and we’ll do our best. Contact Highlands at office@highlandspca.org or 601-853-0636 and we’ll be happy to do what we can. Also, we’re looking for men to serve this important ministry. You don’t even need a special skill; you just need a heart for others and a little time and energy.
