Presbyterian Church in the Highlands

About this church

Presbyterian Church in the Highlands in Lakeland is a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation in the Reformed tradition. Sunday school begins at 9 a.m., and the worship service at 10:30 a.m. lasts about an hour. Worship blends traditional and contemporary elements, pairing hymns, including updated arrangements of older ones, with newer worship songs, alongside responsive readings, prayers, testimonies, the offering and a Scripture-based message. Casual clothes are fine, and signs in the parking lot point to the main entrance, where greeters meet guests in the foyer.

Nursery care is offered for children up to age 2. Children from age 3 through sixth grade join the service for a children's moment before leaving for their own lesson and snack. The NEXT youth ministry for grades 6-12 meets Sunday afternoons from 4 to 5:30 p.m. with games, a meal, worship, a talk and small groups, plus outings on the last Sunday of the month; summer camp and mission trips are also offered. Adults can join a weekly moms group or a men's book discussion on Wednesday evenings, women's circles using the Horizons Bible study, and senior lunches and game nights. The church also has a preschool ministry and supports missions, including medical mission work in Kenya. Services stream on YouTube; confirm times on the website.
