About Highlands
We are a vibrant and contemporary church that’s been leading people into growing relationships with Jesus since 1978. No matter your age, past experiences, or the current season of your life, our heart is for you to discover a life full of purpose and freedom as you grow closer to Jesus, the one who gave it all for you! With locations in Middle Ridge and Highfields, we gather together every Sunday for intentional, life-applicable messages, live music of the highest quality, and an opportunity for people to honour God.
