"Therefore seeing we
have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint
not." 2Corinthians 4:1

Our
worship services are all about our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ and we desire to magnify and honor His name.
Worship at Highland Baptist is a Spirit-filled and
Spirit-driven outpouring of the hearts of God's people as they
meet for an intimate time with the Savior.
At
10:15 a.m. we offer a blended-music Worship service
consisting of
contemporary worship songs with our praise
band, as well as traditional hymns accompanied by organ and
piano. Special music is provided by our adult choir, soloists
or instrumentalists. The focus of the service is the preaching
of the truth of God’s Holy Word.
(Child Care is provided for infants through 5 years. Junior
church for grades 1-4 is offered during the message time from
September-June).
At
6:00 p.m. is our Power Hour service. This is a combination
of hymns and choruses, a special story time for the
kids, special music or our praise
band, and more faithful preaching of God's Word.
Deeper Christian life is emphasized through the preaching of
God's Word and through other media.
(Child Care is provided for infants through 5 years).
(During all services we have hearing assist devices available
for those that are hearing impaired. Please let our ushers know
you have a need and one will be provided for you.)
It's all about Jesus, so please join us as we worship Him.
