We offer Sunday School for all ages each week at Highland from 9:50-10:50 AM
Children's Sunday School
Highland is committed to helping our children grow in faith as they grow in years. We have classes for children ages 3-5th grade at 10 AM each Sunday morning, where we dig into Bible stories and connect them to our lives.This fall, we will be using the new Big Faith curriculum from Cokesbury. You can learn more about Big Faith here.

Small Groups
Since Christianity's earliest days, followers of Jesus gathered in one another's homes for meals and times of prayer. Participation in such small groups was a central part of early Methodism. That tradition continues at Highland! We encourage every disciple of Jesus to be part of a small group where you:
-
- Help each other to grow and deepen his/her faith, being able to see God at work in the world around us.
- Fellowship and build a community of relationships with one another
- Take care of one another in good times and difficult times
- Serve together
Interested? Curious about groups going on at Highland and how you can participate? We currently have 6 groups meeting in homes, but there's always opportunities for more individuals and new groups. Contact Rev. Janet Baucom and she'll be glad to help you get plugged in.
