COME AND WORSHIP
What to expect from Highland Church Service
We are a joyful church that loves investing in future generations. Our worship service is generally considered to be traditional. Our music is performed by various church members, and we specialize in having families lead music together. Our preaching is Bible-based and practical for everyday life. Because we are attached to two educational institutions, we have many special events, and our attendance can vary greatly. During a special program, we may have 500-600 people, whereas when school is out or many of our mission groups are out ministering in other places, we may have 150-200 people. In any case, you will find a warm welcome and a Biblical worship time.
WORSHIP TIMES
If you arrive after 10:30 am, we will direct you to the main auditorium for our main worship service. You may sit in any available seat. Our service is a traditional service incorporating singing, prayer, and Bible teaching. We will invite you to fill out one of our "Connect Cards" to let us know how we can better connect with you.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Attire: There are no hard and fast rules for church attire. We care about you, not your clothes. You will find that most of our members dress up slightly more than their everyday attire, in respect for the holiness of the occasion. Practically speaking, that means a dress/skirt typically for women and a shirt and tie (or suit) for men.
BIBLE STUDY CLASSES
If you arrive during our Bible Study time, 9:30 -10:30 AM, you will be invited to join one of our Bible study groups, called Sabbath Schools. We have classes for all ages from birth through adulthood. For kids, these are age-appropriate Bible classes led by background-checked trusted leaders. For teens and adults, we have discussion-based classes on various topics. Most of our adult classes follow the official Adult Bible Study Guide from the Seventh-day Adventist Church. To see the current topic click here. For more information on our Children's Sabbath School click here.
WHAT ABOUT PARKING
Parking: We have plenty of free parking available. If you come a little late and find the main parking lot full, there is an overflow lot just down the hill. If the weather is inclement you're welcome to use our drive through awning to drop off passengers.
