GATHERING MINISTRY
ABOUT
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!” — Psalm 95:6
When the Church gathers, we come together as the people of God to behold Him, worship Him, hear from His Word, and encourage one another in faith. Our Gathering Ministry exists to serve the Church by helping prepare spaces where people can gather together in the presence of God and respond to who He is and what He has done.
OUR TEAMS
Our Gathering Ministry is made up of six teams, all serving the church in various places, capacities, and Gatherings. Find more information below about our Sunday and Next Gen Worship, Production, Hospitality, Choir, and Creative Teams, and how to be involved in serving.
-
Highland has 5 different worship teams that lead worship for various Highland Gatherings (Kids, Youth, College, Young Adults, and Sundays). Our worship team is an audition-based team that occur once a year. If you are interested in auditioning to be on our Worship Team (Band or Worship Leader) or have any questions regarding the worship team, please contact Jordan Greer.
We accept auditions for the following positions: Drums, Bass, Electric Guitar, Piano/Keys, Strings, and Worship Leaders.
-
Worship Choir is made up of men and women who sing/lead in our Worship Gatherings each week. The commitment level is up to you; commit to sing in one, two, or all three Gatherings. High School students and above are welcome. Joining the Worship Choir is easy! Simply email Emma Curtis about your interest and our team will get back to you asap! No auditions required.
-
Highland Hospitality consists of five distinct teams: Door Greet, Welcome Desk, Host, Coffee (morning gatherings only), and Fancy Water (4pm gathering only). By opening doors, initiating conversations, sharing information, or creating welcoming environments, Highland Hospitality proclaims the Gospel to guests—that Jesus sees them, recognizes them, knows their names, and welcomes them.
If you would like more information about being a part of these teams, please email Jessica Lackey. -
Our mission on the Production Team is to reinforce the Gospel being preached from Highland and make that message available to as many people as possible. There are several ways you can connect and serve alongside us to make this happen.
Camera Operators make sure our pastors' and worship leaders' messages get recorded. The Video Director switches between our graphics and camera sources and starts and stops the stream to the web, as well as directs our camera operators. Lighting Operators make sure all of our light cues happen during the Gathering when we want them to. ProPresenter Operator displays the lyrics and message notes so the congregation can sing and follow along. Finally, our two Audio Technician positions support the band and make sure the Gospel is heard clearly in our live Gatherings and our live stream.
If you want to learn more about how you can serve on the Production Team, contact Trey Hahn for more information. -
This team is made up of passionate photographers and videographers who love using their gifts to tell stories and capture what God is doing at Highland! Please contact Laurel Reed for more information!
