What is a Pre-Launch?

Starting Sunday, January 3, 2016, the Highlands Campus Team will start meeting in the Cedar Mountain School. We will continue to meet until our “official” public launch on Easter Sunday, March 27th, 2016.

Christmas Mysteries

With Christmastime comes the familiar traditions of good friends, food, gifts, and sometimes surprises. It’s a challenge sometimes to keep the surprises a mystery. I’m usually guilty of trying to figure out what presents I got and my wife likes to respond – “Don’t ask so many questions before Christmas.”

Pre-Holiday Pep Talk

November is the top of the hill for the holidays.  Soon Thanksgiving will be come and gone, and the world will be in full Christmas mode…with or without additional decorations on our red coffee cups…and headed briskly for 2016. 2016 will bring lots of change.  I’m fully expecting to have moments

Questions…and Answers?

Starting a church generates a lot of questions.  #LOTS.  That’s good.  The two most frequently asked questions are (1) Where are you meeting?  and (2) When will you start.  [Just for the record: 1) Cedar Mountain School and (2) Easter 2016 – March 27th] Lots of questions mean that people are

One Anothers – Part 4

Boldly…boldly I say, we press on further into what the Bible has to say about the “One Anothers.” The way we treat each other is critical for any believer, but even more so for a new church. Which is kinda why we are spending so much time going over them

Highlands Bible Church – at Cedar Mountain School

As we have previously announced …we have a LOCATION! Praise God! We will be meeting at the Cedar Mountain School, located at 17 Sammis Rd, Vernon, NJ 07462. It is just about as ideal of a location as one could find. Why is it ideal? Well, I’m glad you asked!
