Adults

About

Our Adult Groups Ministry seeks to equip members of Highland to be on mission for the good of the church, their neighbors, and the world in accordance with Ephesians 4:11-12, “And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ…”

The role of the local church is to equip believers to be ministers of the Gospel in word and deed. At Highland, we do this primarily through preaching, teaching, and living out God’s Word through corporate worship, Adult Bible Fellowships, and Community Groups.

If you would like to connect to a group, contact Alex Cook and we will help you do so!

Individual Adult Bible Fellowship classes will take a break for the summer months and start back up on August 23. In the meantime, join us for Summer Study on Sunday mornings in the Chapel.

Summer Study

Join us this summer as we walk through 1, 2, and 3 John together, growing in truth, love, and assurance of our faith. This Summer Study is open to all adults, and teachings will be led by a different Highland leader each week! Come ready to be encouraged by God’s Word and to connect in meaningful community. We will provide each participant with a scripture journal. This study will meet on Sundays at 10am in the Chapel for 8 weeks, beginning June 7. You can register for the Summer Study HERE.

Community Groups (CGs) meet in homes throughout the Waco area on various nights of the week to foster a space for:

Prayer (Colossians 4:2)
Accountability (1 John 1:7)
Confession (James 5:16)
Living out the one-another commands of scripture (1 Peter 4:8)
