“Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come,
O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I
was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed
me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you
came to me.’ ”
Matthew 25:34–36
Highland Avenue Church of the Brethren strives to serve our
neighbor, our community, our nation and our world: to act as
a living witness to the healing love of Christ. Some of the
programs and organizations we support include:
“The earliest confession of the earliest followers of Jesus—Jesus is Lord—was not…primarily a theological confession of Jesus’ divinity, as many today assume; it was a very earthly declaration that Jesus, not Caesar, is the ultimate authority.”
