New Here

Hi there! We're so glad you've found your way here. God has something special planned for you this Christmas season. We hope you'll spend it with us at Highlands as we reflect on the hope, love, joy and peace that Jesus brought to earth on that silent night.

There's something special for the whole family during the whole month of December. Whether you prefer to gather in person, watch online or on TV, Highlands is "home" and you're always welcome here! We're here for you and would love to get to know you, pray for you and answer any questions you may have. It's our mission to help people experience life with Jesus. Connect with us!

Christmas Message Series

Emmanuel, God with us. The fulfillment of this prophecy is seen in the birth of Jesus Christ and it's the reason we celebrate this Christmas season. Hope has arrived and even the darkest night cannot conquer the light of Jesus coming to inhabit this world.

The presence of Emmanuel is our source of hope, peace, and joy, reminding us that God understands our struggles and that He is here with us. It's a call to celebrate the extraordinary in the midst of the ordinary!

Join us December 3rd, 10th + 17th for our Christmas message series, Emmanuel: God With Us!
