Youth Sunday School 2019.jpg

Youth Sunday School

Our Youth Sunday School Class is open to all youth in 6th grade or older and meets each week in Room 204 on the second floor of the Education Building.  The curriculum includes Old and New Testament Bible study, discussion of current events and topical issues, and Jeopardy-style Bible Trivia. 

Youth Sunday School is taught by a rotating schedule of guest teachers including parents, Highlands members and staff.


Youth Group

Highlands Youth Group meets Sundays 5:00-6:30 p.m. for programming and snack supper. See our event's calendar below for the next meeting date and topic.

The Highlands youth group participates in Discovery Weekend, our annual spiritual formation retreat for youth. This intensive event places our senior high youth in leadership positions to help guide our middle school students through a process of spiritual growth and discernment. The weekend culminates in a Saturday evening Prayer Service, in which members of our church family pray over each student individually. This year’s Discovery Weekend will be February 24-26, 2023 at Camp Sumatanga.

The youth group regularly participates in service projects around the Birmingham area and are invited to be youth counselors for VBS at Highlands each summer.


Safe Sanctuaries at Highlands

A central tenet of our Christian faith is the inherent value and worth of all children, youth and vulnerable adults. Because of our commitment to protecting all who participate in our programming, Highlands abides by a Safe Sanctuaries policy, specifically designed to protect children, youth, vulnerable adults, church staff members, and volunteers associated with the activities of the church.
