Our Founding Story<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Highway Trust was established in 1965 with a clear mission: to advance the Christian faith by offering hospitality and support to believers.<\/p>\n

Our journey began with the creation of Thornleigh Christian Hotel, a sanctuary for reflection and fellowship, rooted in Christian values.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

Over the decades, we have remained committed to our founding principles, continually seeking ways to serve Christ through hospitality and stewardship.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
