At Highland Hills Baptist Church, the people are diverse, the worship is reverent, the fellowship is warm, and the ministry is sincere. Though our congregation is composed of people from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives, we still enjoy a common love for God and one another. It is our hope that the beauty of our building and grounds is reflected in the lives of our members. We would love for you to become a part of this unique fellowship. 

Highland Hills Baptist Church offers a wide range of ministries, including full programs for preschoolers, children, and youth, as well as missions and fellowship opportunities for adults. Our music ministry features handbell, preschool, children's and youth choirs, as well as the sanctuary choir.

Highland Hills is also very active in missions work, including projects at the local, state, and international levels. From Habitat for Humanity projects in our hometown of Macon, Georgia  to missions projects in West Virginia, our members are working to make a difference. Recently, a team from Highland Hills traveled to Morocco to minister at a home for orphans. Our faith compels us to action.
