You’ve probably already seen our process at least once. It is Loving God, Growing Together, Serving Others.
These three simple phrases describe who we are as a church, the key ingredients we emphasize in being a follower of Christ, and the expectations we have of members at Highland Colony.
Loving God…
Loving God is primarily a description of worship. We believe that worship is our primary purpose on this planet. We desire to worship God in spirit and truth when we gather together on Sunday mornings.
Growing Together…
Worship is important, but it’s not enough. We believe discipleship takes place best in the context of relationships. We stress the importance of believers connecting with a few other believers to do life together. We accomplish this purpose through groups; Sunday School classes and home groups. The group environment is where truth meets life. God’s word is our source of truth. It is the foundation for what we believe and how we strive to live. Just knowing God’s word is not enough, however. Our lives should be transformed by the truth we learn.
Serving Others…
When God is properly given the place of honor in our lives and we are actively growing in our faith in the context of relationships, serving others is the natural result. We expect members at Highland Colony to serve within a ministry at our church. It takes all of us working together to carry out the ministries of our church with excellence. In addition we encourage everyone to look beyond the walls of the church and find a place of service that results in changed lives. This may take place through mentoring, community involvement, or missions.
