Community Missions
Sharing the love of Jesus throughout Kansas City.
From welcoming refugee families and mentoring students to supporting international scholars and serving in prisons, there are many ways to put your faith into action.
Find your place to serve and love our neighbors.
Mission Adelante
Hillcrest is proud to partner with Mission Adelante, a Kansas City ministry walking alongside immigrants and refugees as they build new lives, relationships, and community.
Since 2005, Mission Adelante has equipped and empowered children, youth, and adults through programs that nurture both life and faith while creating opportunities for neighborhoods to flourish.
Hillcrest supports this important work through volunteers, clothing donations, and service with Adelante Thrift. Whether you give your time, donate needed items, or serve alongside others, it’s a practical way to welcome our neighbors and put God’s love into action right here in Kansas City.
Do Good Together
Do Good Together is a day to roll up our sleeves and put God’s love into action! Through a variety of one-day service projects, we give our time and talents to make a meaningful difference in the community we love.
There are opportunities for all ages, making it a great way for families, friends, and groups to serve side by side. Along the way, we love our neighbors, make new friends, and experience the joy that comes from doing good—together.
Come serve. Love others. Make a difference.
Fill a Bag. Share Hope.
Sometimes loving our neighbors can be as simple as filling a grocery bag.
Hillcrest’s T.A.G. Bags Ministry provides essential groceries for individuals and families experiencing a time of need. Take an empty bag, fill it with the suggested grocery items, and return it to a T.A.G. Bag cart. Or, take a full bag to share with someone who could use a little extra help—or use it yourself. No questions asked.
Bags are available near the elevator and office entrance. Fill one on your own, or make it a family, Life Group, or Serve Group project and fill several!
It’s a simple way to love others, meet a practical need, and share hope—one bag at a time.
Love Local.
One of the ways we love our neighbors is simply by showing up. From supporting local schools to serving at festivals like Prairie Fest, hosting neighborhood block parties, concerts in the park, and annual community events, Hillcrest looks for opportunities to be present, lend a hand, and build meaningful relationships.
For Hillcrest, loving our community means being part of our community.
