Classes
Highlands offers several types of classes designed to help you grow in your faith, connect in community, and live on mission for Jesus Christ. Classes range from short-term and long-term and provide practical, biblical instruction on a variety of topics or books of the Bible.
Discover Highlands
Offered Monthly on a Sunday at 10:30am
Want to know what Highlands is all about? Want to take the next step of connecting in community with the church family? As you tour the campus, you'll learn about Highlands and its ministries, meet the pastors and their wives along with other ministry leaders, and find out how you can be a part of it all.
First Steps
Sunday, May 3rd at 10:45am
First Steps is a 4-week class that helps new believers understand their new life in Christ. Each class will have plenty of time to ask any question you'd like about Christianity, God, faith, the Bible, and more. We use a "Common Questions" framework for our discussions, and the setting is informal.
Offered Sundays at 10:45am - if you have kids, we have full programming available for them through Highlands Kids.
Foundations
6 Week Small Group Experience
Sunday, May 10th at 9:00am 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.
Equipping Classes
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.
Tuesdays at 6:30pm in Student Room A
April 21st - The Book of Revelation (ch.1-6)
An introduction to the Book of Revelation, including a summary of the most common views and interpretive schemes. We see Jesus as the High Priest, and also revealed in Heaven as the Lamb slain for our sins and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. We will take a dive into the riches of Jesus's messages to seven local churches, and how those messages speak to us today.
April 28th - The Book of Revelation (ch.7-16)
We will take a close look at the scheme of "sevens" in judgments on the earth, starting with the seven seals of the scroll in Heaven; the seven trumpet judgments; and the seven bowl judgments, culminating with the judgment of spiritual and financial Babylon. We will study the ways these events have been interpreted through Church history, and how a futurist view of Revelation might interpret these events, including the beast, false prophet, and the rapture of the Church.
May 5th - The Book of Revelation (ch.17-22)
In a loaded week, we will look at the judgments on "Babylon," the Second Coming of Jesus, and the fate of Satan and angels in rebellion against God. The study will also look at the Great White Throne Judgment and hell, closing with a detailed picture of Heaven and a glimpse of eternity for believers who will live with God in eternity.
