What to Expect
Some of what you're used to ... some of what you're not.
Whether you've visited several times, or are just thinking about coming to HighPoint Church, we're glad to have you join us. We've also outlined some of the things you will do when you visit, so you know what to expect.
Before the Service
Find the church:
HighPoint Church currently meets at the Hassan Elementary School (directions) which is located at 14055 Orchid Ave N in Rogers.
Check in your children:
Our weekend kids program is the perfect place for children from birth to grade 5. The staff and volunteers create a safe, fun atmosphere in which children can learn Bible stories and participate in age-appropriate worship. When parents check in their children to nursery and/or preschool and receive a vibrating pager if your child needs you, this also ensures that only approved people may pick up your child.
Get settled:
At HighPoint Church, you'll notice a casual atmosphere, and people of all ages and walks of life. An usher will give you a program, which includes church announcements and a note-taking sheet for the message. An usher can direct you to seats in the worship center - or, you may sit wherever you are most comfortable. Once you are seated, look at the video screen to get an idea of upcoming events and opportunities for HighPoint attenders.
During the Service
Worship:
This time is set aside for communicating with God from our hearts. Our worship team will lead us in upbeat, contemporary songs of celebration, as well as more intimate songs of worship. Many of the songs may be familiar to you if you listen to the radio stations KTIS (98.5 FM) or Spirit FM (95.9 or 107.5 FM). Everyone worships in his or her own unique way - for many, that means singing and clapping along, and for others it means quietly reflecting on the words. You're welcome to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
Offering:
Each week HighPoint's regular attenders make an offering. As a guest, there is no need for you to give. This is an act of worship for our regular attenders, allowing them to thank God for all of the great work he is doing in their lives. It also gives HighPoint the means to reach more people for Christ in the future.
Message:
Every weekend, our pastors give a relevant, straightforward message that is based on Scripture, and is designed to be helpful in your everyday life. Many past messages are available on CD. These messages will help you develop a growing, vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ, and apply biblical teaching to your own life.
Communion:
Several times a year we celebrate communion together. Anyone can participate in this time of reflection and prayer - as long they've made the decision to follow Jesus Christ. The juice and bread that we share represent the life he gave up so that our sins could be forgiven.
Kids Programming:
While adults are in the worship center, their kids are listening to their own dynamic interactive message, learning principles that can be lived out all week long. Children are divided into classrooms with age-appropriate teachings and activities, discussing topics that will help them build a solid foundation and strong relationship with God.
After the Service
Pick up your kids:
If you check a child into kids programming, make sure to pick them up after the service! For children in nursery and/or preschool, you will receive a pager with a number on it so that we can be absolutely sure the right kids go home with the right parents. If your child needs you during the service, the pager will vibrate.
Have a cup of coffee:
We have coffee, hot chocolate, & tea available in the lobby. Stop by for a cup after the service.
