Highlands United Methodist Church Our mission is to love God and serve our neighbors. Join us for Worship on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Highlands United Methodist Church is a community of disciples of Christ; a beacon of hope, inviting all to become new persons in Christ to be sent into the world to share the Gospel and to serve our neighbors; and a sanctuary for those in need of God’s love and grace.

Nothing can sway God's determination to be with us—not our panic, our substitutes, or even His righteous anger. In Jesus, we see a God who is with us, always. He ate with sinners, touched the untouchable, and stayed with us even on the cross. The resurrection confirms these relationships are unbreakable, showing God's eternal presence.

When God feels absent, we seek tangible security. Moses confronted Aaron's weak excuse, highlighting the human desire for a God we can control – a golden calf. This temptation, promising presence without relationship, echoes through history in affluence, reputation, and screens. Anything that pulls us from God and neighbor, promising safety, becomes our calf.

We believe in the forgiveness God offers through the cross, and in the resurrection. Jesus embodies God's kingdom, revealing the heart of God's creative purpose.

That uncomfortable silence some associate with faith doesn't have to be judgmental or overly religious. It can be about genuine connection, meeting people where they are, and sharing a vital message of love and hope. We still need this.

He is the message and the messenger, a silence calling us to something far more important: the way of love. Scripture often uses 'agape' for this self-giving, sacrificial love, a path Jesus fully embodied.
