Highland's Youth Group is a fully welcoming group that seeks to learn about what it truly means to be a Christian and what it takes to implement it into our daily lives by gracefully seeking to do our best to follow Jesus' lead. Highland Sunday Night Youth group meets on Sunday nights during the school year, with some fun welcoming games, dinner and fellowship, group games, and lessons. Throughout the year we practice service and giving of our time through various service projects. Summer includes week-long mission opportunities, as well as plenty of time for fun together.
City Servants
Highland Service Project
Highland Service Project (HSP) our high school mission trip. With 30 plus years of tradition and a passion to serve, our high schoolers and adult leaders head to the Wilmington Area to work with WARM (Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry). We do construction, repairs, painting, siding, flooring, and anything else to make a difference. We spend the entire week at the Matthew House on the sound in Wrightsville serving, worshiping, and having a ton of fun!
Pumpkins
Pumpkin sales are a long-standing tradition (25 plus years) at Highland as a fundraiser for the youth program. The money made from the pumpkin sales go directly to making our service projects happen, cut cost for retreats and outings by 40%, and allows us to help any youth/family who can not afford a trip or activity be able to participate worry-free. Our youth program is large and busy, and the pumpkins allow us to continue serving and having fun while doing so!
