Welcome to Highlands - Room 209
New to Highlands — or simply ready to go deeper? This warm and welcoming class is your invitation to discover everything that makes this congregation such a remarkable community of faith. Led by a cadre of Highlands' own leadership, the class walks through six essential topics: the story and heritage of the United Methodist Church; the rich history of the Highlands congregation itself; the Community and Compassion Ministries that put our faith into action; Worship at Highlands and what makes it so distinctive; Children and Youth ministries; and Adult Christian Formation — including how to find your own place and purpose within this beloved community.Whether you walked through our doors for the first time last Sunday or you've been attending for years and want to get more connected, this class is the perfect next step. All are welcome. No prior knowledge or membership required!
Hot Topics - Room 204 (Begins April 19)
What is the church saying about the issues that matter most — and what should it be saying? In this lively and engaging class, Pastor Mikah Hudson leads an open, thoughtful exploration of five of the most pressing topics facing both the church and our wider society today. True to the spirit of Highlands, no subject is off the table and every perspective is welcomed with respect and grace. The best part? You help shape the conversation. Congregation members are warmly encouraged to submit their suggested topics, making this a class that truly belongs to the whole community. Come ready to think, to question, and to grow. To suggest a topic for discussion, email Mikah directly at mikah@highlandsumc.net
