We believe in the Word of God.

We believe in the good news of Jesus Christ, and that the Bible is the very Word of God to man. God has revealed himself in two ways – through nature and in Scripture. The Bible is necessary for a true and saving knowledge of God.

We are Evangelical

Along with Christians throughout the world and in centuries past, we proclaim the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The term evangelical comes from the Greek work meaning “good news.” Our hope is for all people to trust in the saving work of Jesus and to enjoy the gift of eternal life in him.

We are Reformed

We believe in the biblical truths proclaimed during the Protestant Reformation. The Word of God, rather than tradition, is the only guide for the Church. God alone saves through his immeasurable mercy and according to his sovereign plan. We believe the system of doctrine taught in the Bible is summarized well in the Westminster Confession of Faith with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms.

We are Presbyterian

Highlands is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America. As a Presbyterian church, we have a representative form of church government that includes officers serving as elders and deacons. Our church is governed by a “Session” made up of elders (presbyters) elected by the members of the congregation. Our elders also participate on the regional and national level within our denomination.
