Church is more than a place
​you go on Sunday.

It's a family to belong to, a community to grow with, and a mission to be part of. Join the Journey is your opportunity to learn more about HiWay, discover what we believe, understand where we're going, and find out what it means to become part of the HiWay family.

WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

Join the Journey is a relaxed, conversational class designed to help you get to know HiWay better.

​We'll talk about our story, our beliefs, our mission, and where we believe God is leading our church. You'll also learn about opportunities to grow, serve, and become more involved.

​Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and decide whether becoming a member of HiWay is the right next step for you. And yes, we provide lunch.

Why membership?

You can attend HiWay without becoming a member, but membership is a way of saying: "This is my church family, and I want to be part of what God is doing here."

Membership is a commitment to walk with Christ alongside other believers, grow together, serve together, care for one another, and participate in the mission God has given His church. It's not about having everything figured out. It's about deciding that you don't want to walk the journey alone.

WHAT WILL WE TALK ABOUT?

Join the Journey gives you a behind-the-scenes look at who we are and why we do what we do.
We'll explore questions like:
  • WHERE DID HIWAY COME FROM? Learn a little about our church's story and how God has worked through HiWay over the years.
  • WHAT DOES HIWAY BELIEVE? We'll talk about our core beliefs, values, and how Scripture shapes what we do.
  • WHERE IS HIWAY GOING? Hear about the mission and vision guiding our church into the future.
  • HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED? Discover opportunities to grow through groups, serve in ministry, and use the gifts God has given you.
  • WHAT DOES MEMBERSHIP MEAN? Learn what it means to belong to a local church and what HiWay asks of its members.
And there will be plenty of time for your questions too.
