What We Value

Welcome to Life

We invite you to rediscover the fine art of living. SIMPLIFY! Slow down and remember again all that really matters like the porch swing, and a long conversation with an old friend, your favorite slippers and a good old book. And mostly- remember the dinner table (one of the best gifts from God)- the good smells, tastes, and sounds. Slow down and sit together, hold hands when you pray and thank God for his provision of good food, good friends & family, good conversation and a good life. What we truly value is what we truly practice. Sometimes we say we value something but it is not reflected in our practices. We are not perfect in our practice, but here are Highland’s values that are based on what Christ values, and our desire for simplicity.
