Making Community

It is basic human behavior to be social. Last decade's swell of connectivity with email and this decade's explosion in social media both strongly attest to this truth. The fact is that God knows us and intends that we be a part of a community. He wired us for it. Community is something we take very seriously at The Heights.

Recently our THF Media team enhanced the community option available to THF attenders. There are two new facets on the THF Online experience: The Table Project and THF Online Portal.

The Table Project is one of our most exciting community makers. It is going to help us answer some of those daily needs to 1)Find stuff and to Find help within the community, or 2)Give stuff and Give help as a part of our personal ministry mission. Go check it out! It's VERY cool. Follow this link to
THE TABLE PROJECT to find out more!


Another community maker for THF Attenders is the THF Online Portal. It basically allows you to see and be seen at a comfort level you control and like. You can register for THF events (i.e. Children's Camp, Youth Camp etc.), sign up for life groups, connect with your LIFEGroup, opt in and out of the THF Directory, and more. Over the next few months we will be integrating many more opportunities within the portal such as scheduled online giving and even access to view your past contributions. You can find out more and make the connection here: THF ONLINE PORTAL.

I'm reminded of this verse as we journey forward together:

You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. James 3:18 msg
