Grow Online

We understand that your time is valuable, and we want to do our best to make Grow as accessible and easy to use as possible for you. To accomplish this, Grow is prepared to meet you where you are at any time through our online platform. Grow Online has hundreds of downloadable church resources, and trainings on every department of church life including Kids Ministry, Worship and Production, Small Groups, Finances, Student Ministry, Administration, and much more—and every resource can be accessed 24/7, 365 days a year.

Grow Online also offers Online Courses where you are able to learn and hear from our team members at Church of the Highlands on key ministry areas in your church. These courses are designed to help bring further insight in your specific area of ministry at your convenience.

We also know that every now and then, you need additional information for the tools that you already have. This is why we provide opportunities to connect with the Highlands Staff team through our live Q&A sessions online. These brief, topical sessions are focused on responding to your questions for a specific area of ministry online.

Our Model

Grow provides resources and training for every aspect of ministry, but we believe that doing a few things well can make a far greater impact than trying to focus on a multitude of opportunities.

This is why, at Highlands, we focus on four key aspects of ministry:

Weekend Services

We create life-giving, relevant services where guests can experience God in a welcoming, comfortable, and low-pressure environment. We extend the invitation for salvation or recommitment in every service.

Small Groups

Community matters. Our small groups are how we ensure our people are cared for and connected in meaningful community. Each small group leader can host a group based on their passions and interests. For us, it’s less about what people do when they meet and more about everyone connecting to a larger story through genuine relationships within the local church.

Growth Track

Through a four-step process, we take our people on a journey where they experience what it means to follow Jesus, connect to the local church, discover their purpose, and live a life filled with a deeper relationship with God through serving others.

Dream Team

We want to connect people to their God-given purpose and enable them to passionately serve in their calling. Through our Dream Team, everyone is invited to use their God-given gifts, talents, and abilities to reach others through the local church.

Resource Categories

Kids & Students

We all want to see the next generation connected to and thriving in the local church. Through this course, we will discuss how to create an excellent Kids Ministry filled with interactive worship and intentional relationships, as well as discuss how to build a counter-cultural environment and authentic relationships for Middle School, High School, and College students through a thriving Students Ministry.

Worship & Production

From the topics of onboarding to the processes of growth and development, this course is designed to walk you through the “ins” and “outs” of how worship and production teams operate, as well as discuss how to grow in your influence and effectiveness as a worship and/or production team leader.

Prayer

Prayer is the foundation that everything else builds upon, and during this course, we will dive into what it looks like to set a culture of prayer, as well as discuss how to create prayer services, teams, and small groups practically.

Creative

The creative process can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Through this course, we will discuss creative meeting processes, the best practices for communicating creative concepts to your senior pastor, and how to engage in brainstorming and executing ideas successfully.

Finances

We all know that it is essential for your church to have great vision, but it is equally important to have the finances to carry out that vision. Through this course, we will discuss aligning your finances to match your vision, as well as ways to help departments stay on track financially.

Events

Events can serve as a catalyst for what matters most to your church. Through this course, we will discuss how to plan excellent events, starting with building an Events team, maximizing resources available, and effectively evaluating each event in pursuit of creating “wow factor” environments.

Outreach & Missions

From serving those in need locally, to giving and sending resources internationally, missions and outreach are a huge part of the Church’s mission. In this course, we will share the heart behind why we as a Church should serve, as well as give practical and impactful strategies of reaching those in need so that we can be better equipped to serve those locally, nationally, and internationally.

Legacy

Influence and resources assist in accelerating the vision of the local church, and we believe that there are people in your church who would like to give and serve in this capacity. During this course, we will discuss the vision of a Legacy Team, how to create one, and how to sustain it so that the Legacy team members’ resources and influence can make a maximum impact through your church.

Operations

Running a church can consist of many tasks - some expected and some unexpected. During this course, we will discuss the processes and systems that keep a church running effectively, as well as looking into the foundations of staffing, church government, and more.

Our mission is to provide resources and training to churches so they can reach their full potential.
