Highlands church Adults - Faith & Fellowship

---

Join us for Adult Sunday School on Sunday mornings at 8:30 AM! Our class typically works through a book study lasting anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks, offering a great opportunity to dive deeper into Scripture and grow in faith alongside others. Newcomers are always welcome—whether you're joining for a single study or planning to stay long-term, there’s a seat for you. For information on the current or upcoming study, please contact the church office. We'd love to have you join us!

A few times a year, we come together for our All Church Events (ACE Events)—and there’s always something to look forward to! Our ACE Coordinators plan a delicious meal, entertainment, and a fun theme for each gathering. It’s a wonderful way to relax, laugh, and build stronger connections within our church family. Want to know when the next event is happening? Call the church office for details—we’d love for you to join us!

Our Columbarium and Memorial Garden, located on the church grounds, provides a peaceful and sacred space to remember and honor loved ones. It is available to current and former members of Highlands Church, as well as their immediate families (spouse and children). You are welcome to visit this quiet area anytime—it’s located on the south side of our Ministries Activity Center. Brochures are available on the Information Wall just outside the church office. For more details, please contact the office at 479-855-2277, and we’ll connect you with a member of our Columbarium Committee.

Our Compassionate Disciples team is made up of caring volunteers who reach out to those in our church family who are homebound, hospitalized, grieving, or facing other difficult life events. Through phone calls, cards, personal visits, and even occasional outings, this ministry offers comfort, connection, and Christ-centered care when it's needed most. If you know someone who could use support—or if you'd like to be part of this ministry—please contact the church office.

Throughout the year, we host a variety of church-wide Fellowship Events—special times for our church family to gather, celebrate, and connect. Some of our favorite traditions include the Easter Continental Breakfast, Veterans Day Celebration, Christmas Luncheon, Summer Picnic, and more. Each event is made possible by a wonderful team of Highlands Church volunteers who help plan, set up, decorate, serve, and clean up—making sure every gathering is meaningful and fun for everyone. We’d love for you to join us at our next event... and if you’d like to lend a hand, there’s always room for more helpers!

Flex ‘N Stretch meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the Peter Classroom. This 10-week wellness program is open to everyone and especially great for seniors or those looking for safe, pain-free movement. Each session promotes better health through gentle, effective exercises that improve range of motion, coordination, strength, balance, and agility—all key to maintaining independence and a higher quality of life. You can attend as many or as few sessions as you'd like. The cost is $45 for 30 sessions or $30 for 15 sessions. Call the church office for current session dates and times. Come join the fun and feel the difference!

Highlands Methodist Men is a Christian brotherhood committed to serving both our church and the wider community. Each year, HMM supports more than a dozen local and national charities through hands-on service and financial giving. The group meets monthly for a breakfast gathering that includes a devotional message, a guest speaker, and time for planning upcoming projects. Call the church office for details and to confirm meeting times.

All men of Highlands Church are also invited to join a New Testament Bible study—offered in the Matthew Classroom on Monday evenings from 4:00–5:00 PM or Tuesday evenings from 5:00–6:00 PM. Bring your Bible and be part of the journey!

Highlands Methodist Women is a fun, faith-filled group with a heart for serving women and children in our local community. Each month, we gather for a casual continental breakfast—filled with laughter, encouragement, and connection—while planning how we can make a difference through local outreach. Along with our monthly meetings, we enjoy special outings, events, and a lively book club that’s open to readers of all kinds. Whether you’re brand new or have been here for years, you’ll find a warm welcome and plenty of ways to get involved. 

All women of Highlands Church—and your guests—are invited to join us. Call the church office to get the scoop on what’s coming up next!

Did you know Highlands Church has not one, but two libraries? Tucked into the narthex area of the Sanctuary, our collections are full of books, movies, and more—ready for you to explore! The Library Annex offers a wide variety of Christian devotionals, non-fiction inspiration, audiobooks, DVD movies (including plenty for kids), paperback fiction, and a special collection curated by Highlands Methodist Women (HMW).

Just across the way, our second Library Room features a great selection of hardback fiction and Christian fiction titles—perfect for anyone looking to curl up with a good read. Stop by and discover something new!

Our Loving Hearts team is a group of caring volunteers who help provide refreshments—like cookies, coffee, and tea—following memorial services held at Highlands Church. It's a simple but meaningful way to offer comfort, hospitality, and support to grieving families and friends during a tender time.

If you’d like to be part of this ministry of kindness, we’d love to have you. Just contact the church office to learn more.

If you love to knit, crochet, or just enjoy good conversation and a warm cup of fellowship, you’re invited to join the Stitchers! This welcoming group meets twice a month (September through May) to work on personal projects or contribute to meaningful ministries like Prayer Shawls and Prayer Squares—patterns are provided for anyone who’d like to help.

All skill levels are welcome, and so are new faces. Call the church office to confirm meeting times and come stitch with us!
