Welcome!
The Lake Highlands Church is an interdenominational family of imperfect believers, trusting only Christ as Savior and Lord. Rooted in the ancient, authoritative scriptures, we are saved by God’s surprising grace, alive in the power of the Spirit and expectant of a coming Christ.
We don’t exist to tell you how good we are, for we have often collectively and individually made a mess of our lives. We exist to share with our neighborhoods the good news of God’s amazing rescue of his rebel children. We also exist to help people grow out of the maddening immaturity that is tearing apart our families and neighborhoods and grow into God’s common sense-mature relationships-where accountability, respect, prayer, simplicity and forgiveness are a way of life.
Our Roots as a Church
As a church, our roots are in the Churches of Christ. Our allegiance, however, is not to any denomination. Our allegiance focuses on Christ as Lord. We seek to be a church without denomination, committed to the practical unity of all those who acknowledge Christ as Lord. As did our nineteenth century forefathers in the Churches of Christ, we celebrate the diversity of opinions within the body of Christ.

Common Ground
About 1832, the year of the formation of the Stone-Campbell Restoration movement, our forefathers-the leaders of the movement-claimed to be Christians only, acknowledged numerous theological differences among them and declared their unity in Christ as Lord and the authority of Scripture over tradition.
One hundred years later what was called the Restoration Movement had divided twenty times, claimed to be the only Christians and declared that unity could only be achieved by doctrinal perfection.
In light of our tragic history, we seek, through the rediscovery of salvation by grace, the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, the Lordship of Christ and the supremacy of Scripture to reform our thoughts and practices. We seek to follow Christ. We pray for a recovery of God’s vision for the unity and mission of his people. We resolve to sink into spiritual union with the body of Christ at large.
