Missions
Jesus Christ placed vital emphasis on spreading the gospel and growing disciples to become fully devoted followers of His way. Because of this, we also seek to make passionate, strategic, intentional ministry to our community and world a way of life for each believer. Please prayerfully consider missions opportunities and then act in response to these needs! Click the button below to get more information about specific ways you can get involved at High Pointe.

Pope Elementary
High Pointe is proud to partner with Pope Elementary School to assist with food needs for children at food risk and to provide tutors for children struggling with reading. Tutoring is organized through Puyallup School District's Communities in Schools, Good Samaritan Readers Program. High Pointe volunteers receive training in the fall and tutor October through June. Weekly tutoring sessions require a one hour commitment. Education is often the way out of poverty and, without education, the cycle of poverty will almost certainly continue. By helping secure the foundations of reading for these children, tutors break down significant barriers to a better future.
Guatemala
High Pointe has been sending teams to Guatemala since 2003. We partner with The Good Shepherd Church in Santiago Atitlan and their mission church in the nearby village of Cerro De Oro. Teams build houses for impoverished families, offer Christian leadership training in the public schools, encourage village women with a Women's Ministry afternoon, distribute medical kits and visit and pray with families who have previously received houses. We share the gospel with words, loving actions, and practical assistance. In addition, we partner with the community to provide high efficiency cooking stoves to improve health and lessen the workload for women and girls.
Ethiopia
Shire New Word of Life Church- Through Fellowship Church, High Pointe has also gotten to know and partner with New Word of Life Church in the town of Shire, which is in northern Ethiopia. Pastor Temesgen Gebrihewet planted this church in an area that can be hostile to the gospel and the evangelical church often faces persecution there.
