Heart for this House
WHAT IS HEART FOR THE HOUSE?
Heart for the House is a special time of year for our church, celebrating all God has accomplished in the past year and prayerfully considering how each of us can partner financially to help our church move forward with our vision to strengthen more people for life.
As believers, we are part of God’s family, sharing a commission to reach as many people as possible with the good news of Christ. HighRidge carries out this mission with a unique approach and passion, expressed through various ministries in our church and our community.
This year, we celebrate and highlight what God has accomplished through Chosen Ministry, NextGen Ministries, and Marriage and Family Ministry. We look forward with expectancy toward all the possibilities ahead, reaching more people and helping them Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference!
We are excited to announce a special Heart for the House offering on Sunday, November 17, 2024. We believe this offering will help move us forward with our commission to reach as many people as possible for Christ.
Join us as we pray into this special time of giving by asking the Lord to let you know how He wants you to participate. Be sure to be in one of our services that Sunday so that you can be a part of all that God is doing at HighRidge Church.
Thank you for your generosity, for your heart to honor the Lord, and for being a part of strengthening more people for life!
One House, One Heart

What We Are Believing For
LETTER FROM PASTOR JEFF & DAWN
“Imagine a church that reaches out into the heart of Fort Worth and Parker County, where the focus continues to be strengthening people for life; a place for children, students from middle school, high school, and college, single moms, young marrieds, families, adults of all ages and seasons, to gather together to receive the Word, worship the Lord, and serve. Imagine a place where people in crisis or hard times can come and receive the help they need, where they can get connected and encouraged; a place for raising and training young people for ministry and the future; a place where people find hope, know they are loved and that God has a plan for their lives; and above all, a place where the love of God is poured out and many come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior…”
Growing Heart, Growing House
THIS YEAR’S INITIATIVES
As we celebrate all God has done in the past year through this house, we know that God has even more for us to accomplish together!
Ministry Growth
We look forward with great faith to see more families and volunteers joining our Foster and Adoptive ministry, Chosen; more people serving in our NextGen Ministries; so more children, youth, and young adults can grow in their faith and purpose through increased opportunities to connect in spiritual community. We also look forward to seeing more marriages and families flourishing because of our marriage groups, date-night events, mentoring relationships, and our upcoming 2025 Marriage Conference, Thrive. We are excited for more people to join us on Sundays and find hope by beginning a life-giving relationship with Jesus!
Expansion
For 15 years, our Fort Worth Campus has had a wonderful but increasingly perplexing problem; more people attending on Sundays than our parking lot can handle! We have spent countless hours praying, researching, petitioning, and advocating for a solution. Last year, we saw God do exceedingly more than we could ask or imagine, as we opened our Parker County campus, becoming ONE CHURCH, TWO CAMPUSES. Our Parker County attenders now have a campus a little closer to home with room for their family and friends to join them, and our Fort Worth Campus has some room to grow too… just in time!
