The windows in the nave of Highland Baptist Church,installed in 1971-72, are an artistic expression of the church's gospel. The windows, beginning with those closest to the pulpit, follow the spectrum of the rainbow in their colors - red, gold, green, blue and violet: enveloping the worshipers with the colors of the rainbow, reminding the believers that they are the objects of Covenant love.

The ten windows around the bottom of the nave take up the theme of Hebrews 12:1, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." They depict the Apostles and representative saints who have preceded the Church of the present.

The following descriptions of the windows were written on the occasion of the dedication of each window by the artist, Robert Markert, in conjunction with the pastor at that time, Don Burke.
