Vision 2028: Build Up the NExt Generation
At Highland, we glorify God by building up the next generation. We believe God's vision for Highland is that we would help young people become mature and resilient disciples of Jesus Christ (Eph 4:12-16; Psalm 78:1-8). It's a multi-generational effort, made possible by older generations who recognize that we grow in Christ when we help others grow. We also share God's vision for the most vulnerable young people, emphasizing adoption & foster care, as well as ministry to those with special needs. We are not only pursuing this vision at Highland, but also throughout Memphis and around the world. We invest in missionaries, ministries and church-plants committed to building up the next generation to the glory of God.
