I'm New
So you're new to HiWay and thinking about Joining The Journey. Maybe you're wondering what it's like to attend a service. Let us walk you through what a typical gathering looks like and share a bit about who we are and what we're all about at HiWay.
What to expect at a Journey Group
When you arrive at HiWay, we want you to feel right at home. Come as you are, casual and comfortable. The Bible reminds us that God looks at the heart, not outward appearance (1 Samuel 16:7), so we encourage you to focus on preparing your heart, not your wardrobe. No suit or tie required.
Journey Groups last about one hour and are organized by life stage. We offer groups for children, youth, young adults, young marrieds, parents of teens, seniors, and more. Each group is designed to help you connect with others who are in a similar season of life.
If you are not sure which group is the best fit for you, just stop by the Welcome Center on Sunday. Our team will be happy to help you find the right group.

What to expect at a Worship Gathering
A Sunday Worship Gathering at HiWay lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes. During this time, we come together to sing, worship, and hear from God's Word.
We begin with music as a way to praise God and prepare our hearts for the message. These songs help us focus on who God is and what He is doing in our lives. Our Lead Pastor, George Barnes, shares a message from the Bible that is both understandable and practical. His goal is to help you see what the Scriptures say and how they apply to everyday life. At the end of the message, there is an opportunity to respond. Whether you want to receive prayer, make a spiritual decision, or simply reflect on what you heard, there is space for that. Our team is available to pray with you or offer encouragement if you need it.
Each worship service includes a different style of music, but the message is the same in all three. We encourage members to attend one service and serve during another. As we get to know you, we would love to help you find a place to get connected and involved.
