Sunday Nights at High Pointe

Starting October 4, 5:30 p.m.

What is the Gospel?
We hear the words all the time. Gospel centered. Gospel centric. Gospel focused. Preach the gospel. Share the gospel. Live in light of the gospel. Gospel minded. The gospel is a word we all use and just assume everyone knows what it means. Do you know what the gospel is? Assuming you are a saved individual, you probably know what the gospel is, but can you articulate it to another person? Our first series for Sunday Nights at High Pointe is titled "Organic Evangelism". We desire to equip you to share the gospel. To do that, we first need to have the ability to articulate the gospel well. Join us for our first Sunday Nights at High Pointe where we will answer the question, "What is the gospel?".

Childcare will be available for children ages 0-4 years old in the Counseling Office.


Members Meeting

October 11, 9 a.m.

Members please be in attendance at our next meeting. We will be introducing new members and discussing the budget. Pastor Greg will also be sharing the elders' continuing vision for HPC.


LIFT Event

Saturday, October 17, 5:30 p.m.

Ladies, save the date for our next LIFT event on Saturday evening, October 17th. This will be a simple get-together at the Resource Center. Come hear Laura Pollak share her salvation testimony and enjoy the fellowship.

Coming Spring 2016

The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC) have selected Saylorville Church as their regional site for track one for their Counseling Seminar.

HPC T-Shirts

If you do not yet have a High Pointe t-shirt, they will be available for purchase on Sunday mornings at church for $10. Sizes available are medium, large, and extra large.

If you currently volunteer in nursery, Climbers, or Hikers, we desire that you wear a Summit t-shirt on the Sunday you are serving. That allows you to be easily identifiable as a worker in one of those ministries. Summit t-shirts are available for purchase on Sunday mornings at church for $10. Sizes available are medium, large, and extra large.
Please see elders or deacons if the cost is a burden for you.


Planning Center

Planning Center is what we are currently using for ministry scheduling purposes. If you are a ministry leader or serve in a ministry at High Pointe, please log in to Planning Center if you have not yet done so. Email Matt Michaelsen if you have any questions (matt@highpointealtoona.com).
