Sundays

We strive to be Christ-centered and dialogical in our order of worship. Our worship services are held in the church cafeteria. Youth students worship with us on Sundays. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every first Sunday of the month. We seek to use songs in our worship services that are Christ-centered and theologically sound. Casual dress is the norm. A cry room is available for infants. We offer a Sunday School program for children and Bible studies for youth students after worship. There is free on-site parking. Lunch is served in the afternoon.

The Lord's Supper

We observe the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of every month. Members who have been admitted by our session - as well as anyone who professes faith in Christ and is a member in good standing of a church that proclaims the true gospel - are welcomed to the Lord’s Table here at Highland.

Mission

Our mission is to worship God, proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and prepare believers for the coming eternal kingdom through the ministry of God’s word and sacraments.

Beliefs

We receive the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Larger and Shorter Catechisms, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Nicene Creed as accurate summaries of what the Bible teaches.
