Community & Outreach
Learning to Serve Others
A key part of our mission is teaching children the value of serving others. At Cross of Hope, students learn that their education isn’t just for their own benefit — it also empowers them to make a positive impact on the world around them.
We talk about Jesus’s example of service and love, and we find age-appropriate ways for kids to put those lessons into action. Even our youngest students begin to understand kindness, generosity, and helping those in need. By emphasizing service as part of learning, we instill compassion and humility from a young age.
Hands-On Community Projects
Throughout the year, our school participates in outreach projects that connect students with the community. These are hands-on activities where children actively do something for others — from Thanksgiving canned food drives to winter coat and blanket collections.
Classes have created cards and care packages for nursing home residents and troops overseas. Older elementary students often lead — running lemonade stand fundraisers for charities or guiding younger buddies during campus clean-ups. Students see firsthand that even as kids, they can make a real difference.

Connecting Faith with Action
Community outreach at Cross of Hope is about putting faith into action. We partner with Cross of Hope Church and local charities to serve beyond campus — often with families joining students and teachers side by side.
Whether it’s a Saturday neighborhood clean-up, a church-sponsored mission project, or volunteering at a shelter, these experiences strengthen our bond with Albuquerque and teach students to be good neighbors and active citizens. Serving others is how we show God’s love in tangible ways.
