The Gathering 

Women’s Ministry of Highland Baptist Church 

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:23-25

Gathering for Bible Study

Gathering for Service to our church family & our community.

Highland Baptist Church believes in serving our community. We have four defined areas of service opportunties including Shoals Sav-a-Life, Legacy Ministry, Baptist Campus Ministry, and Local School Teacher Ministry.

Gathering for Discipleship as we connect with, encourage, and learn from one another.
