First steps
Sundays | 11:00am-12:00pm | January 10th-31st
Office Building Lobby Conference Room
First Steps is a welcoming 4-week conversational class designed to explore the foundations of Christianity in an open, relaxed environment. Together, we’ll talk about who Jesus is, what the Bible teaches, and how prayer can shape your faith journey.
Each week includes plenty of time for honest questions and meaningful conversation about God, faith, Christianity, the Bible, and more. During the final week, you’ll have the opportunity to join an open Q&A session with one of Highlands’ pastors.
Whether you’re curious about Christianity, brand new to faith, or simply looking for a place to begin growing spiritually, First Steps is a great place to start.
If you have kids, we have full programming available for them through Highlands Kids.
6 Week Small Group Experience
Sunday, January 10th at 9:30am in the Office Building
This 6-week small group experience will help participants come to a greater understanding of who God is, who Jesus is, who the Holy Spirit is, and what it means to be a follower of Jesus. This is a perfect first step for anyone interested in joining a group at Highlands, and a great foundation for the process of discipleship. You'll grow in your faith, connect in community, and learn to live on mission for Jesus Christ.
Join pastors, elders and ministry leaders of Highlands as they present classes designed to equip you to be a better follower of Jesus. Classes will cover tough questions about Christianity, encouragement about prayer and caring for others, and other topics such as challenging cultural issues and Christianity in the workplace. No registration is required to attend these classes, and each class session is a stand-alone experience that doesn't require having attended a previous week.
Sunday Classes
what's your Story?
Sunday, November 15th | 9:30am
Student Building Room B
If we were to write our story we would write more successes and victories. But Jesus is a better story writer than we are. He writes in highs and lows and victories and defeats. It turns out that being a witness is allowing Jesus to write your story and then telling that story to the people around you.
The art of neighboring
Sunday, November 22nd | 9:30am
Student Building Room B
What does it really mean to love your neighbor? In this message, we’ll revisit Jesus’ story of the Good Samaritan and discover that loving our neighbors may start a lot closer to home than we think. We'll explore how something as simple as learning a name can open the door to meaningful relationships and opportunities to show God’s love. You’ll leave with a simple challenge to take your faith beyond the front door and start making a difference right in your own neighborhood.
