Heights Church Information

Our Story.The Heights Church was founded in 1956 as the ,Prescott Heights Baptist Mission,. It originated out of a Sunday school class at the First Baptist Church of Prescott. In 1958 the Mission called its first senior pastor and became known as ,Prescott Heights Baptist Church,. In 1981 the Prescott Heights Christian Preschool was founded as an outreach ministry of the church. When the church was founded in 1956, its strategy was to reach the new neighborhoods of Prescott Heights. In January 1997, Pastor Lee and his wife, Anne moved to Prescott from Cleveland, Ohio to pastor this church. The church had seen many years of decline when an organization called Titus Ministries came in to facilitate change. The result of that change was the decision of the church to call Pastor Lee. At that time the church ran about 70 people on a good week. In October of 2002 the building that had served the church in the Prescott Heights sub-division was too small for a growing church and was sold to another church. Subsequently twenty five acres were purchased and rezoned at 2121 Larry Caldwell Drive just off of Highway 89a. While the new property was being developed, The Heights held Sunday services in the Ruth Street Theater at the Prescott High School. During that same time the church offices and weekday activities were located at the old York Motors dealership building at the corner of Montezuma and Sheldon in downtown Prescott. The new campus opened on November 21, 2004 with four Sunday services (9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 4:00 p.m., and a 7:00 p.m. young adult service).
