Every Sunday morning, we worship at 10:30.
On Sunday mornings, worship is about God's good news of love and mercy, and our calling to serve God, to love our neighbors and ourselves.  We have Sunday School for children and a a nursery for our little ones. 

​Not just on Sundays, but everyday... we seek to:
Do justice.  Share kindness.  Walk humbly together with God!

What's been happening at Highland in 2019?
  • We have a Wednesday night study on world religions, exploring similarities, differences, and common ground. ​
  • High school youth meet weekly, lead worship, explore faith, do mission trips and attend the Montreat Youth Conference.  
  • Jr. Youth meet for all kinds of creative activities, outdoor events, Bible study, and community service projects.
  • Kids stay for the first half of worship, which is interactive and includes a children's message from the pastor, and then they go enjoy a child-centered Sunday School.  
  • Quilters meet Tuesday mornings, making gifts of love.   
  • We celebrate the Blessing of the Quilts with a colorful procession and display of the patch-work love that we share.  
  • Highland goes outdoors, hiking in the Smokies with all ages!  
  • Highland co-sponsors a refugee family with Bridge Refugee Services. 
  • We host Girl Scouts, youth art classes, a basket-making group, OA, and a late-night college group.
  • In recent years, we built a new accessibility entrance and a new wheelchair ramp. We welcome people with all kinds of abilities. 
  • We support The Gate - Gateway to Independence, a wonderful daytime program for young adults with disabilities.​​
  • On Palm Sunday, we walk with llamas, wave palms, and ring bells to welcome the Prince of Peace into our life and faith. 
  • Highland members are active in multiple forms of civic engagement, community service, and environmental care.  Many participate in the Women's March, local peace walks, activities for racial unity, voter registration, protecting and preserving our environment, welcoming immigrants, supporting refugees, and volunteering with programs that serve neighbors in need.
