Our Mission

We heard someone say once, "The church doesn't need a mission statement, the mission statement needs a church." And we want to become a church where the mission of Jesus to love, grow, and send disciples is clear. Everything we do is about this mission. This is our "why." This is why we exist. 
Our "Why"
We believe a core part of following Jesus is learning from Jesus. Jesus started his ministry by calling followers to a particular way of life. Jesus ended his ministry by commissioning these followers to make more followers. So, our "why" is following Jesus or discipleship. And we believe this "why" drives everything we do. Each ministry and every component of the Highland Oaks Church flows through this question: "Is this helping us to love, grow, and send disciples?" Want to know more about our "why?" Come and hear the "why: each time we gather and learn for yourself "why" the Highland Oaks family is passionate about loving, growing, and sending disciples.
Our "How"
Discipleship does not happen by accident. Or to put it another way, discipleship is not the same as membership. Disciples of Jesus grow by intentionally pursuing certain practices. This is the "how" of our mission. The T.A.B.L.E. has been set by Jesus and we are ready for you to join us as we are empowered by the Spirit to be loved, grown, and sent.
Our "Who"
We strive to be a refuge church. What does this mean? We long to be a safe space for people who are over-churched, under-churched, and annoyed-with-church. We strive to be a place for reconciliation, prayer, and empowerment of anyone looking to follow Jesus. Come and see how you can join the refuge in order to be sent back out to rescue those in need.
