Mission

Highway: Mission from The Highway Community on Vimeo.

Jesus Christ lived a life of mission. During His short time on Earth, His task was nothing less than to establish that the kingdom of God had arrived, and that the restoration of all things was beginning. Not a bad mission statement. Upon returning form 40 days in the desert, He traveled to his hometown of Nazareth. In the synagogue there He quoted the prophet Isaiah, saying;

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Jesus, the very centerpiece and focus of our faith, modeled for us that the starting point of the kingdom of God is a place of service—an outward expression of His love that extends to the broken, the needy, the blind, the oppressed, and the imprisoned. It extends into communities, lives, homes, and families as Christ-followers serve as salt and light in a lost and dying world.

In an effort to be faithful to that mission, we are partnering with many groups and organizations that seek to change the world in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Highway Community expresses its mission in a four different dimensions:

+ Institutional Mission: where we as a community make efforts to impact and create in the culture around us.
+ Individual Mission: where we as a community assist and support people following God’s call to mission for each and every individual.
+ Local Ministry Partners: where we as a community have partnered with some of the amazing ministries and organizations embedded in various local communities on mission.
+ Global Ministry Partners: where we as a community have partnered with some of the amazing people and organizations embedded in various communities globally.
