Highland Baptist Church Information

The first worship service of the “Highland East Mission” was held in Moore Highland East Junior High back in 1985. The mission effort began in 1981 in the hearts of four Moore area couples and these were soon joined by others from the Southern Hills Baptist Church of Oklahoma City which became Highland’s sponsoring church. The group’s first service at the existing church site was three years later in a temporary building (pictured above) on a 4.7 acre site at the corner of SE 4th & Sunnylane. Highland was constituted as a church on July 13, 1986. Three building projects later Highland now operates in a 28,000 square foot facility on an eighteen-acre site at the corner of SE 4th and Sunnylane in Moore. Over the past five years several new subdivisions, gated communities and a retirement center have gone up nearby as the community has been expanding steadily in the southeast quadrant of Moore. There are literally hundreds of homes being built within a short distance of Highland. We are very excited about the growth God has given and anticipate a great future as we serve the Lord together and “let our light so shine to Moore and beyond!”
