CONNECTION SUNDAY

Connection Sunday

Looking for a place to connect—or maybe it’s time to reconnect? Join us for Connection Sunday THIS Sunday as we encourage everyone at Highland to find a Bible Class during our 9:40 morning hour.

We believe Bible Classes are an essential part of finding community, building relationships, and growing together in faith. With classes available from birth through senior adults, there is a place for everyone.

Not sure where to start? Stop by the Welcome Center in the Commons to learn more about the different classes and find one that’s a good fit for you. Invite a friend to come with you, or make this the Sunday you recommit to finding a group and getting plugged in at Highland.

4th & 5th Grade 6–10 PM Event — This Friday

Calling all 4th and 5th graders! Be sure to mark your calendars for our Fall 6–10 PM Event on Friday, September 25!

This event is for 4th and 5th graders only. Parents will drop off at the front of building at 6:00 PM and pick up at 10:00 PM.

We’ll have pizza, a devo, lots of games, and plenty of fun! Please have your child bring a sweet treat to share.

Sunday Morning Check-In

Please remind your child to check in before heading to class, or stop by their classroom and have a teacher help them check in.

This is an important safety precaution. We need to know which children are in the building in the event of an emergency.

If you do not currently have a KidCheck account, you can use the KidCheck Registration Link to create an account and make Sunday morning check-in a breeze!

Discipleship Teams

Did you know that since we launched Discipleship Teams at the beginning of the year, over 60 Highlanders have been better equipped to be a disciple who makes disciples? Imagine the impact of this many—and even more—people committed to guiding Christians and the lost to follow Jesus more closely. A movement of disciple makers could spread across this city! If you desire to find deeper belonging, stronger belief, and become a person more radically committed to following Jesus, please prayerfully consider getting equipped with a Discipleship Team. You can join at any time!

Serve With Us

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.

Grow In Your Giving

In 2 Corinthians 8:7, Paul encourages believers with these words: "But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving."

Think about a musician who practices for years or an athlete who trains every day. Excellence doesn't happen by accident. It grows through intentional habits. The same is true of our giving. Giving is a spiritual discipline. Every act of generosity strengthens our trust in God. As we grow in generosity, we become more like Jesus.

So, let’s keep praying and working to get better and be a church that excels in the grace of giving.
