History
Each of us has a story. This is
also true of our institutions. Collectively, we refer to these stories as
history. Many feel daunted by history, yet we are all authors of
chapters in this continuing saga. We are products of the past,
participants in the present, and architects of the future. Since
". . . we are surrounded by so great a cloud of
witnesses. . . " Hebrews 12:1 NRSV.
we must ensure that our deeds not
only reflect the faith of our fathers but conform to the images of the church
given to us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
- Our Past
-
There were Methodists living on the Highlands plateau for more than a decade
before the town of Highlands was established in March 1875. Within a
decade the Methodists were constructing the town's first church building.
During the ensuing century, the church continued to grow in order to provide
expanded opportunities for worship, service, and fellowship. We invite
you to follow the link above to read the story of the establishment of the
Highlands United Methodist Church.
- Our Present
-
The
beginning of the Highlands United Methodist Church's second century has been a period of growth and change. We invite you to follow the
link above to learn about the People of God who are the United Methodist
Church located at 315 Main Street in Highlands, North Carolina.
- Our Future
-
The future of the Church is in God's hands. However, as faithful
stewards of the heritage that God has given us, we believe we must plan for
the legacy we will leave to those who will follow in our footsteps. We
invite you to follow the link above to review our Long-Range Plan and our
Master Site Plan.
