The O'Guinn
family has been members of and served the Lord at Highland since 1982.
Kathy loves the Lord and His children. She feels that the church should be
present in each child's life and should serve to assist the parents in
"training up a child in the way he/she should go".
Children have the
opportunity to participate in music ministry through our children’s.
Children from four years through 6th grade learn the importance
of music through singing, drama and instrumental instruction. The
instruction is both fun and educational. Leaders use music as another medium
to teach Biblical truths.
Royal Ambassadors
(RA’s) and Girls in Action (GA’s) are for boys and girls grades 1 – 6.
Both the boys and the girls programs are designed to teach the importance of
missions to the children. They focus on how the children can be involved in
mission activities in our church community, country and world.
