Hurting? Hopeless? In need of help?

We all go through crisies and difficult seasons of life. Highlands Community Church is committed to help you at your point of need. It’s all part of our mission to bring the hope and healing of the gospel to our broken world!

Serving in Care Ministries

Meeting people’s needs involves far more than the capacity of our pastors and staff. It’s our goal to put your time and talents to good use by equipping and training you. We develop leaders to oversee our various care ministries and work to strengthen connections with those in small groups, adult ministries, and our community. These ministries work together to provide support for people in times of crisis, whether it be social, spiritual or health-related. Caring for others in this way creates Christ-like patterns in all of us that bring wholeness and health to our church family. To learn more about serving in Care Ministries, contact Alicia Fiess.

Single & Parenting

Wednesdays beginning March 2 | 7-8:30 pm | Register
Take the guesswork out of parenting alone. If you are a single parent in need of a little encouragement, friendship, and parenting insights, we are here for you. Join us Wednesday nights for a parenting workshop where we'll look at ways to encourage your kids in obedience, developing strong relational bonds, and practical advice on being a working parent and managing debt. You'll also develop meaningful friendships with other single parents.
