Welcome to
Highlands United Methodist Church
Highlands UMC is an open and inclusive church. We have many ways to become part of the community through worship, fellowship and outreach. If you are a seeker, a pilgrim, a person with a servant's heart or someone with questions of faith, come and worship with us.
All are welcome at Highlands UMC, an inclusive community of faith.
This week at Highlands:
This Sunday, July 5, is the fifth Sunday after Pentecost, in a season known in the church as Ordinary Time. Pastor Betty will be preaching.
Vacation Bible School is coming up next week!
After approximately 9 months of intentional prayer, conversation, education, and discernment, the congregation voted on May 17, 2009 to become a
Reconciling Congregation, with a public statement of welcome and affirmation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people. The vote passed by an overwhelming majority, affirming the following
statement of welcome to be true for our church:
Highlands United Methodist Church embraces Jesus' message that God loves and accepts every person, and so our welcome knows no boundaries. In the name and spirit of Jesus, we welcome people of every age, race, ethnicity, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental ability, and economic condition into full participation in the life and leadership of our congregation.
Thank you to all who have taken part in the process, for the humility, love, and grace you have shown to each other in this matter and in all things. We continue to pray for God's guidance as our church moves forward into the future.
