Missions & Evangelism
In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus entrusts his apostles with the Great Commission:
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
As those who share in this apostolic commission, we are called by God to bear witness, in word and deed, to what He has accomplished for the salvation of the world through Jesus Christ.
This calling is rooted in our life together, especially in worship and discipleship as a covenanted body. Yet it also extends beyond us. Because God’s mission is greater than any one congregation, we partner with others to advance the gospel locally and globally, supporting this work through both giving and going.

The Colson Fellows @ LHBC
The Colson Fellows Program is a ten-month journey of spiritual and intellectual formation designed to help believers grow into mature disciples whose faith shapes every aspect of life. Rooted in the grand biblical story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, this experience forms Christians to see all of reality through the lens of Scripture and to live under the gracious reign of Christ in every sphere.
In a cultural moment marked by confusion about identity, morality, truth, and even what it means to be human, Christians need more than information. We need transformation. We need formation.
That is why we are pleased to partner with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview to offer the Colson Fellows Program at Lake Highlands Baptist Church.
Throughout the year, Colson Fellows-in-Training (CFITs):
Deepen their understanding of the whole biblical story
Learn to recognize the formative power of competing worldviews
Develop habits of discernment rooted in Scripture
Grow in clarity about their calling and stewardship
Cultivate clarity, confidence, and courage in Christ
Whether you are new to Christian worldview study or have long engaged in theological reflection, the Colson Fellows Program integrates belief and obedience—so that doctrine shapes character, and character shapes life.
