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 three-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. Our Kids & Students resources will help you create an excellent Kids Ministry filled with interactive worship and intentional relationships and build an impactful, counter-cultural environment for Middle School, High School, and College students through a thriving Students Ministry.

Worship & Production

The Worship & Production resources available on Grow Online will help you understand and implement a healthy worship and production team at your church by providing you with practical training, examples, and more.

Prayer

Prayer is the foundation that everything builds upon, and our Prayer resources will help you implement a culture of prayer at your church, as well as show you how to practically create prayer services, teams, and Small Groups.

Creative

The creative process can be a challenging and time-consuming task. Our Creative resources will provide you with training, examples, and more on how to engage in brainstorming ideas, communicating creative concepts to your Senior Pastor, and executing those ideas successfully.

Finances

We all know that it is essential for our churches to have a great vision, but it is equally important to have the finances to make that vision a reality. Our Finance resources will help you align your finances to match your church's vision and provide ways for your church's departments to stay on track financially.

Events

Events can serve as a catalyst for what matters most to your church. The Events resources available on Grow Online will help you plan excellent events, start or build an Events team, and use the resources available to effectively create a “wow-factor” environment for every occasion.

Outreach & Missions

From serving those in need locally to giving and sending resources internationally, missions and outreach are a massive part of the Church’s mission. Our Outreach & Missions resources will provide you with practical and impactful strategies, tools, and training to serve your community and the world effectively.

Legacy

Influence and resources assist in accelerating the local church's vision. We believe that there are people in your congregation and community who would like to give and serve in this capacity. Our Legacy resources on Grow Online will help you create, develop, and sustain a Legacy Team at your church so that you can make a maximum impact through your church.

Operations

Running a church can consist of many tasks - both expected and unexpected. Our Operations resources will help you understand the process and systems that keep a church running effectively and give you some practical tools and training on building a healthy staff foundation, church government, and more.

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