An introduction to Highland Baptist Church


By HBC - Posted on 24 September 2009

We believe

that Jesus Christ is the source of new life, and that we have been called to be a thinking, feeling, and healing community of faith which shares the story of how Christ's love is changing the direction of our lives.

What does it mean to describe Highland Baptist Church as a “thinking, feeling, and healing community of faith”?
