Chapel Class - Daring to Draw Near

"Daring to Draw Near" is a study of prayers that are recorded in the Bible. More than a study of the topic of prayer, this will give attention to prayers themselves, to see what we can learn about our own prayer life. Gary Kenley will lead us as we look at Job's interaction with the Creator on the 17th at 6:30.

Grace Marriage is coming to Highland. We want to alert you that on Saturday, October 25th, we will begin an ongoing Marriage Ministry effort that can transform your marriage and make a difference in your family life. More information will be coming in your class, on social media, and from your ministers over the next few weeks!!!

The Highland vision about Grace Marriage calls us to make intentional marriage investment the new normal. No longer should complacency or stagnancy define marriage in the church. Instead, we want a culture where couples continually seek growth, where they are ambassadors of love, and where our faith is seen in how we cherish and uplift our spouses.

Together, we’re raising up leaders, training champions, and setting the example for what it means to honor marriage. Every step you take in building a thriving marriage ministry is not just about helping couples today—it’s about laying a foundation that will bless generations to come. As Scripture reminds us, let marriage be held in honor by all. Let’s work to create marriage ministries that showcase the importance of marriage, because a church that values marriage is a church that invests in something very important to God.

The Freedom Prayer Ministry is a personal prayer ministry where any individual from Highland or the community can schedule a focused prayer time with members of Highland/Oikos prayer team. The main goal of the prayer ministry is to allow the Holy Spirit to identify and to address things hindering a deeper personal relationship with God.

Click HERE to request a prayer time. You will be directed to our scheduling form, and someone from our prayer team will get back to you within two weeks.

Serving through church gives us a way to belong and meet new people. We’ve got many openings available to fit your gifts and passions, whether it might be serving the Children's Ministry, Youth Ministry, singing on the Praise Team, serving in our Special Needs Ministry, Media Team, and many others.

One fundamental that generous people practice is this: they ask God to give them a generous heart. Our natural instinct is to hold on tightly to what we have. But when Jesus walked this earth, He lived with open hands—sharing His time, His compassion, even His very life.

I once heard about a little girl in Sunday school who brought two quarters—one for candy after church and one for God. On the way, she dropped a quarter down a storm drain. Without hesitation she said, “Well, there goes God’s quarter.” It’s a funny story, but it also reveals how easy it is to give God what’s leftover.

As disciples of Jesus, we want to flip that instinct. Generosity starts with asking the Lord to shape our hearts—to give us hands that are open, not closed. When we pray for a generous heart, we not only honor God as good stewards, but we also grow our faith, trusting Him to provide as we give.
