A Fresh Wind...

This new year starts a new phase for the church we are planting. World Impact began planting Highland House Church in 2003. We started with kids Bible Clubs. After getting families together at Harmony Heart Camp in 2005 we decided to move to having family Bible studies on Friday nights. We held these Bible studies in ministry houses here in Chester from 2005-2008. We had grown from a handful of people to 40-60 people (adults, teens, & Kids) meeting in our houses. It was at that point that we decided to move our Church to the Frederick Douglass Christian School building to accommodate our growing numbers. This is where we are currently meeting today.

From the beginning of this church plant our desire has been to raise up leaders from within the congregation who will take our places. Over the last few months we as a church plant team have been praying about how best to re-ignite this vision within our church. We earnestly seek and desire God to be in the center of planting this church.

Last Friday we recast this vision with the teens and adults. We know that God was present at this meeting and prepared the hearts of those who were there for the message that was given. We have been encouraged by the fact that many of those we talked to afterwards had been thinking along similar lines.

We are going to continue this process over the next few weeks. Please be in prayer with us over these times. Pray that God will reveal in each member where He would have them serve. Pray also that we will be sensitive to His leading in all that we do!
