The overwhelming attraction to Higher Living by members and visitors is the combination of God’s Word going forth through the powerful anointing of Pastor Andre’ Landers and the vision of economic empowerment for family units within God’s Kingdom. Pastor Landers' vision has produced several noteworthy ministries and community service projects, with phenomenal impacts on south metropolitan Atlanta.

These projects include:

Economic Empowerment Series

Higher Living Christian Church, in partnership with Wachovia Bank has sponsored annual financial empowerment seminars for the sole purpose of building wealth and financial freedom within the community. These seminars provide consumer information on money smart decision-making techniques impacting families. The seminars include guest speakers and information regarding home ownership, investment strategies, family budgeting and financial credit worthiness.

Kingdom Resource Connections

In year 2003, Higher Living introduced an empowerment program entitled Kingdom Resource Connections. The purpose of the program is to identify professional resources within the body of Christ, to foster a relationship with various businesses and employment agencies and to promote God’s stewardship. The ministry is designed to provide a resource center for employment seekers, entrepreneurs and career professionals. Through Kingdom Resource Connections, several people have gained employment opportunities and found service providers to meet various needs.

Annual Christmas Outreach

Higher Living members combined efforts to provide food items, clothing and toys for families in need during the holiday season. The congregation of Higher Living has aided over 900 families during the Christmas season.

Annual Back to School Rally

The Education Council of Higher Living sponsors an annual Back To School Prayer Rally each year for the community. Through workshops, seminars and panel discussions, the rally is designed to equip parents and students with the tools needed to prepare for school and work in harmony with teachers. Free book bags and school supplies are provided to community children of all ages, during the annual rally event.

Support for Education

In support of providing a positive and safe learning environment for the children of Henry and Clayton counties, Pastor Landers serves as the school chaplain for several area high schools. Higher Living's Youth Minister also provides mentoring and support roles for several elementary, middle and high schools in both Clayton and Henry Counties and other local academic institutions. The men of the church volunteer their time each year to help a nearby high school keep order on the last day of school. Pastor Landers is often invited into the local schools to provide support and motivation for its students and teachers. HLCC has sponsored several teacher appreciation luncheons in the Clayton County schools. Pastor Landers also provides activities for youth during the weeks of spring break and summer break that offer fun and spiritually constructive supervision.

Support for Community Development

In support of Henry & Clayton county community advancement, Pastor Landers is a member of Clayton and Henry County Chambers of Commerce and was recently appointed to the Advisory Council for Gang Awareness in Clatyon County.

Higher living for God’s people is the mandate that God has put upon Pastor Landers. The church will equip men and women to be viable members of the community, experience financial freedom through knowledge and education and become GOD sustained ministries that will perpetuate the Gospel of the Kingdom from generation to generation.
