Our current Worship Center has served us well over the years. However, sound, lighting, and media limitations keep some from seeing, hearing, and experiencing what takes place in worship. Upon completion, Highland Oaks' beautifully remodeled 2,000 seat worship center will be equipped with state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and media. A new baptistry will grace the stage area. Lifting up the core value of Communion with God, we believe that this important part of Imagine will equip us to change lives by facilitating inspiring worship, prayer, communion, Spirit-led preaching, and a more welcoming environment for those seeking God.

Imagine will create numerous new spaces for people to experience the joy of life together in Christ. The new Cafe will provide needed fellowship space, along with coffee and light food items. The adjacent Resource Center will provide various resources for spiritual growth. In addition, the new Hospitality Center will provide a place for those seeking more information about a walk with Jesus or about the Highland Oaks church. New outdoor terraces will provide beautiful and serene environments for both spiritual reflection and fellowship. Lifting up the core value of Authentic Community, these new spaces will provide richer, more intimate environments for people to gather and share life in Christ.

Each year, Highland Oaks opens its arms to tens of thousands of people without a church home. New signs on Walnut Hill Lane and LBJ Freeway will heighten the visibility of Highland Oaks to the community. New trees, flowers, shrubs, and grasses will provide an atmosphere of beauty and peace for those visiting Highland Oaks. This demonstration of hospitality is but one way we hope to lift up the value of Relational Outreach.

Nearly two years ago, Highland Oaks' Student Ministry grew to the point that the current student ministry center could not adequately accommodate the number of young people the Lord was sending our way. Since that time, Senior High School students have been meeting in temporary quarters in the Adult Eduction wing. We are taking steps to allow for continued growth and flourishing of Student Ministry at Highland Oaks. Thus, the design of Highland Oaks' new Student Ministry Center, The River, is a part of the Imagine campaign.
