At Highland Community Church, We believe…

  • The Bible to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written. We believe that the Bible gives believers everything they need to know how to live for God.
  • In one God, infinitely perfect and eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • In the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His death on the cross for our sins, in His bodily resurrection and in His personal return in power and glory.
  • That man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam’s sin the race fell, inheriting a sinful nature. We believe that man is totally depraved, and of himself unable to remedy his lost condition.
  • That the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provides the only ground for justification and salvation to all who believe. We believe that only those who are born again by the Holy Spirit are children of God.
  • In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit toward believers. The Holy Spirit indwells believers, guides them, instructs them and empowers them to serve and live a Godly life in this present evil world.
  • That Satan is a person, the author of all sin, the enemy of God and the deceiver of mankind. We believe that he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire.
  • In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
  • In the spiritual unity of all believers in Christ.
  • The ordinances of the church are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. As a visible sign of a personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior, we believe and practice baptism by immersion. The Lord’s Supper is a time of remembering the death of Christ for man’s sins. It is currently served on the first Sunday morning of each month and is open to all who profess to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

For Youth:

Our goal is to provide a supportive Christ-centered environment where youths may develop holistically — intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and socially (Luke 2:52), — so that they may know Christ as their Lord and Saviour. It is our desire to see them become true disciples of Christ (Matt 28:19,20), so that they may serve and love God wholeheartedly (Luke 10:27). All youth programs and activities are designed with this goal in mind.

This youth ministry desires to integrate youths into the life of the church body, to prepare then to become leaders now and tomorrow in the church, and to equip the young saints for the work of service (Eph 4:12,13). This youth ministry takes a team approach, and values the active support and involvement of parents and other adults in caring for the youths.
