For 30 years, Highlands Fellowship has been a place where stories of transformation, healing, hope, and purpose have unfolded—one life at a time. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re reminded that this church has never been about buildings, programs, or personalities. It’s been about Jesus. And it’s been about people.
This video celebrates just a few of the countless lives that have been changed through the love of Christ shared at Highlands.
In the video, you’ll hear:
- Life-changing community that feels like family from day one
- Local and global impact through missions and outreach
- Healing and hope through prayer and support during life’s hardest moments
- Foster care and adoption becoming part of our church’s calling
- Personal transformation through baptism, discipleship, and everyday encouragement
- A legacy of leadership, built on faith, sacrifice, and trust in God

From the very beginning, when a small group of faithful people believed God was calling them to plant a new kind of church in Abingdon, to today—where our mission spans across communities and even continents—we’ve seen God do what only He can do.
🎉 As Pastor Jimmy said: “Highlands was Jesus’ idea.” And it’s clear from every story in this video—He’s been writing a beautiful story since Easter 1995.
Today, we continue our mission to help people experience life with Jesus—by making disciples, loving our communities, and changing the world. And we believe, just as our theme verse from Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us, that God will continue to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.
Thank you for being part of this story. Whether you’ve been with us for 30 years or just 30 days, your presence matters. Your faith matters. And together, we look ahead to the next 30 years—expectant, grateful, and ready to follow wherever Jesus leads.
