At The Heights, we believe that everything we do should be based on the truth found in Scripture. With that in mind, our beliefs are encompassed within the following Biblical truths:
1. Prayer is the essential foundation for all effective ministry.
John 18:1
2. Lost people matter to God and must matter to the church.
John 3:16
3. God’s truth through His Holy Word must be communicated with doctrinal integrity and cultural relevance.
II Corinthians 4:2
4. Authentic and loving relationships are essential to spiritual growth and health, and should permeate every aspect of the church.
I John 4: 11 & 12
5. The Lord is the only one worthy of our worship and as His body we strongly desire to do so.
I Chronicles 16:29
6. God has called every Christian to utilize his/her spiritual gift(s) in ministry.
Ephesians 4:11 & 12
7. The church displays the love of Christ by ministering with compassion and care to the poor, sick, hurting, lonely, rejected, and forgotten people of the world.
II Corinthians 1:3 & 4
8. Learning is a lifetime pursuit, and we will provide as many opportunities as possible with the hope that we will draw closer to God and enhance our daily Christian life.

9. Strong healthy families make strong healthy churches, and we will strive diligently to help build loving and respectful relationships within the home.

Above all, we believe in striving to emulate Jesus Christ in all that we say and do (Philippians 2:5-11). Consequently, our worship is based on the person and work of Christ. He is the audience, we are the participants. Our hope is that we may serve as an outlet for God’s purpose so that all who enter here may learn to become more and more like Jesus in their daily lives.
