Welcome to Church In The Highlands UCC

The Church in the Highlands is more than just a location. We value people.

Founded in 1921, the Church in the Highlands is a congregation of the United Church of Christ (UCC), a progressive Protestant denomination created in 1957, but with roots going back to the Pilgrims, who came to these shores seeking religious freedom. First to ordain women (in 1860!) , first to protest slavery, home to Abolitionists and freed slaves, first to ordain openly gay ministers (1972), we are a united and united body of believers in Jesus, the Risen Christ.

The Bible is central to our teaching and beliefs. We celebrate the common Judaic-Christian traditions that bind together all that worship Jesus the Christ as Lord and Savior. There is openness in our fellowship. Everyone is welcome, no matter their race or nationality. For us, the God we worship is One and each human being is our brother or sister.
