At Hilltop we believe that it is important to support local and international missions.
Our very first financial gift helped start a Christian training center in Guatemala,
which eventually evolved into the House of Hope orphanage.
We are currently support 2 missionary families (Gomez and Wood Families)
that are working in Guatemala and Asia.
Part of the work that these families are doing is: rescuing children from
poverty and oppression, equipping leaders to continue their work,
and translating the Bible into the languages of those who have not yet
been able to read God’s Word for themselves.
We also support 2 outreach organizations locally:
The Blessing Closet and Action Ministries.
They have established a "Free" store, back-to-school drive, safe & fun events for children, and a Christmas present drive for people in the community the are in need.
Please continue reading more below to learn more about the Gomez Family,
the Wood Family, the Blessing Closet and Action Ministries. If you would like more
information on how you can help support any of the ministries please contact the church office.

Javier and Erin Gómez are ministering to the poor in Zacapa, Guatemala through feeding programs, reading classes, tutoring , and building houses. They are the directors of a private school called Oasis Christian School. The students of the school come from diverse backgrounds. The goal is to share the gospel with every student and through each child reach an entire family for Christ.
They minister weekly at the government orphanage. They visit churches and other schools whenever they’re invited, sharing the gospel through songs, games, and stories. During vacations, they present Vacation Bible Schools in Zacapa and remote villages.
