We are ordinary people transformed by extraordinary love: Jesus!
Welcome to our journey! We are Word-anchored, Holy Spirit-filled witnesses to the world. Worship is our lifestyle. We are a healthy community of believers – united in faith, enriched by our diversity, and committed to caring for one another – passionately pursuing Jesus to make Him famous in the nations.
What we believe
No one is perfect, no one is without sin—every person has fallen short and in need of God’s redemption. None of us can claim to be perfectly good, and that’s why we all need a Savior.
Jesus, also called Immanuel, God-with-us, exchanged His glorious throne for an earthly home. He was born as a baby and walked among us, fully human. He is the only God who declares that we are made in His image—the only God who chose to dwell among us. He knows hunger and pain and temptation and poverty and slander and betrayal and humiliation and rejection.
In Jesus, we find a God who truly knows our struggles. Yet, unlike us, He was without sin. He lived the perfect life we never can.
And out of His deep love for you, He took the consequence of your sin and imperfection upon Himself. He willingly chose to suffer a brutal death on the cross – crucifixion – so that your brokenness and sin does not have to remain your chains.
There is no other god who has done this for us. Whatever rituals, sacrifice and worship that is required by us to be presented as perfect and sinless before God, was fulfilled by Jesus.
Jesus performed on our behalf.
But the story didn’t end there—Jesus rose from the dead, breaking the power of sin and death forever! Because of His perfect life, His sacrifice, and His resurrection, we too can live in the freedom and victory Jesus secured for us – fully, freely, wholly!
The Leadership Team
HIGHWAY CHURCH is led by a team of elders and deacons. The elders are responsible for the doctrine and direction of the church. They are called to love and pray for God’s people and to teach them His Biblical truths. Deacons are appointed to assist with the administration of a church community and their serving is to be exemplary. While their functions differ, both are dedicated to establishing a Godly kingdom culture. Friendship is key to how we serve together, and we strive to remain a united team of culture carriers!
We are all equal in Christ and we are all called to be of godly influence.
We believe in the priesthood of all believers—that every Christian is both a disciple and a disciple-maker. By His divine design, God calls some to steward His house, while others are called to lead in their homes and workplaces. Our roles may differ but each is equally valuable and important, and together, we build God’s kingdom.
Go team Jesus!

Thato
Deacon.
As a lover of the Word, there is nothing I enjoy more than showing people how liberating and extraordinary living for God is. My desire is to be used to serve His people in His Kingdom to make His love known all over the globe. In a hard and tricky world, I hope God can soften me to be a soft landing for others; to experience His love in a more tangible way.

Deacon.
