This Christmas, Highland Baptist Church in invites you to Glory Revealed, a sermon series through John 1:1–18 with Pastor John Brock.

Join us as we celebrate the light that shines in the darkness and the glory that changes everything.

Each week we recite the Great Commission at the end of our worship service to remind one another of the ministry we have each been called to do: to make disciples! "And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'” —Matthew 28:18-20

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief.

Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. Register HERE.

Our desire is to build men who walk in favor with God and influence their families, churches, and communities for His glory. Join us as we pursue Whole Men. Whole Life. God’s Way.
