If this is your first time at Highland, park in the Guest Parking in the Blue Lot located across the street from the Life Center. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early. We can't wait to meet you!
WELCOME DESK
Once you’ve found a parking spot, head through Door A of the Life Center, which will lead you to where we worship. If you have children and are looking for where to go, we are happy to direct you there.
We’d love to meet you, whether it’s before or after the Gathering, and have a gift for you. We are so happy you chose to join us!

If you’re new to Highland, we’re so glad you’re here! During the first few weeks of the fall semester, our “New Here” tent will be located outside the Wellness Center on Sunday, August 23, August 30, and September 6.
Stop by to meet some friendly faces, ask questions, get connected, and learn more about Highland. Whether you’re a college freshman, new to Waco, or simply visiting Highland for the first time, we’re here to help you find your way and feel at home!
