Cafe Team members make The Highlands experience incredible for all.  They set up, replenish, and serve delicious coffee and tea. Whether brewing coffee or maintaining small talk, these volunteers have smiles on their faces and love making our home a little more inviting. Commitment would be serving at both services about once every 4-6 weeks.

This ministry team assists with the preparation, coordination and clean up of communion. We need volunteers who would like to serve/distribute the elements during the services. The Highlands Church celebrates communion the first Sunday of each month but volunteers would be on a rotating schedule.

Pathfinders is our Junior High ministry here at The Highlands! Small groups are divided by grade and gender (6th girls, 6th boys etc). We need leaders for these groups; leaders who are willing to commit to loving and knowing a group of students for 1 year - we meet every Wednesday night throughout the year. You don’t have to be cool, be a Bible expert, or anything else you can think of. You just have to be an adult who is willing to step into the lives of a group of students.

The Highlands Meals Ministry serves families & individuals within The Highlands Church & our surrounding community where a delivered meal would provide some relief.

We ask volunteers to commit to making at least one meal every two months.

Men’s ministry exists to help men be disciplined for the purpose of godliness in all areas of life through teaching, discipleship, encouragement, accountability, and leadership training. Men’s Ministry is aimed at helping men grow in their knowledge of God’s Word so that they might pursue holiness and godliness and be godly leaders in their family, church, and community.

The Check-In Team’s faces are some of the first that families will see as they enter The Highlands. Therefore, check-in team members need to have a positive and energetic personality as they greet and check-in families on our computer system. Members of this team also escort new parents and children to their appropriate rooms. If you get excited about interacting with people and families, then this is the team for you.

The Highlands Prayer team is a group of people committed to learning and practicing prayer on behalf of each other and our church. We meet once a month on Sundays before church, we pray for the requests of our church and make ourselves available to pray with people. The Prayer Team is not just for people who are passionate about prayer or have figured prayer out. Regardless of how comfortable you are with prayer we encourage you to join us as we seek God together.

Small groups are an important part of our high school ministry. Volunteers will lead these small groups and connect relationally with our students. During small groups we discuss the lesson of the night, wrestle with questions students may have about the topic, as well as apply these truths to daily life. Volunteers on this team will be at programming every Wednesday.

Student ministries' meals team provides weekly snacks and full meals for special events during our Wednesday night programming. This is an easy way to make a big impact and serve our students! Some examples of what to bring are a plate of cookies, a bag of chips, pizza rolls, candy, and many more! Anything you think kids would enjoy our students will love!
