Highland Ministries, formerly Highland Missionary Baptist Church, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916 by Rev. Candi Jones. What began as a small congregation meeting under a “bush arbor” has grown into a thriving ministry with a lasting impact on the community.
Throughout the years, Highland experienced continuous growth, expanding its congregation, leadership, and facilities under the guidance of dedicated pastors. From its humble beginnings, the church flourished, constructing new buildings, establishing various ministries, and ordaining numerous leaders who contributed to its spiritual and organizational development.
On August 7, 2019, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, Highland Missionary Baptist Church transitioned to Highland Ministries. This shift marked a new chapter in the church’s journey, embracing a broader vision for ministry while maintaining its commitment to faith, community service, and spiritual growth. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Highland Ministries remained steadfast in its mission, continuing to serve and uplift its members and the surrounding community.
Today, Highland Ministries stands as a beacon of faith, dedicated to worship, outreach, and the development of disciples for Christ. With a strong foundation built on more than a century of service, it continues to evolve, inspiring future generations to live out their faith with purpose and passion.
