Who We Are
Our Mission
Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.
Our Vision
Equip the church to follow Jesus.
Jesus said, "Come, follow Me." He invited everyday people who believed to walk step by step with Him. We have several opportunities and resources to help you grow in faith, connect in community, and live on mission as a follower of Jesus Christ.
next steps
One way to grow in your faith is to attend church regularly. By attending church services, you will learn applicable biblical truth and grow deeper in your faith while connecting with other Christ-followers. You will also learn how to worship the Lord through prayer and song, and to study God’s Word, the Bible. Join us on Sundays at 9:00am and 10:45am.
Another way to grow in faith is to sign up for a class or study. Highlands classes and Bible studies will help you learn more about God's word, the Bible, and apply its teaching to your life. Whether you are new to faith or have been a Christian for many years, there is a class or study for you.
God designed people for relationships, and a small group is a natural way to connect in community with others who are trying to grow in their faith together. Small groups are a way of keeping the big church small and personal. Highlands offers groups for men, women, married couples, singles, and counseling groups. We also offer Foundations, an introductory small group experience and a great first step to joining a group.
Jesus came to serve, and an aspect of living on mission for Christ involves serving others. Just like our bodies are made of many parts that work together, the church works best when each person plays a part in serving Christ by serving each other. Everyone can contribute their gifts and experiences to help other people grow in their faith.
Jesus also sent his followers into the world to proclaim the good news of the gospel. As Christians, we realize we all are called to be godly examples wherever God has us or will send us, whether that is locally or around the world. Highlands is passionate about sharing the gospel, and we want you to be a part of that mission.
At Highlands, we strive to be the "Bride of Christ" as referenced in Ephesians 5:25-30. Here are our priorities:
B - Biblically Based
In strongly believing that "all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness…" (2 Timothy 3:16), we desire to communicate God’s Word in a clear and practical way.
R - Reaching the lost
The clear purpose of Jesus was to "seek and save that which is lost" (Luke 19:10). As a church we desire to follow His example as we attempt to bring the good news of Christ to a lost world.
I - Intimate, Participatory Worship
We promote the heart-felt expression and participation of believers in worshipping God when we assemble together. We value variety and desire to reach and minister to the masses with our focus primarily toward a current musical style.
D - Demonstrative Love
In our conviction that love should be expressed and hospitality shown, (1 Peter 4:8-9; Hebrews 13:1-2), we endeavor to encourage our body to exhibit a sincere love for people that is demonstrated both corporately and individually.
E - Equipped for Service
Believing that our mandate from God is "for the equipping of the saints for the work of service…" (Ephesians 4:12), we strategically nurture believers toward Biblical life-change and equip them to discover and employ their giftedness (1 Peter 4:10).
