Sundays at Highrock
Sunday service at Highrock is about bringing honest and passionate worship to God. The highlight of each week, it is a place to rejoice, revive, and rest. A place of community, where we worship, serve, eat, and laugh together. A place where messy and broken people come to encounter a loving God who desires to heal and transform. A place where we find strength in following Christ.
We worship in a variety of ways, through songs, stories, and sermons. We value relevance, while adhering to centuries-old Christian traditions, and incorporate both ancient and contemporary elements in our worship. Every first Sunday of the month, we celebrate Communion, the Lord’s Supper.
Here are just a few explainers about the rest of the Sunday experience, so that you can worry less about details and focus more on God in worship:
Dress
Come as you are! Some people come in t-shirts and jeans, and others come in business casual. There is no expectation that you should dress in a certain way to be here at Highrock!
Nametags
One of the best ways to welcome visitors, as well as, help our growing church know each other is through nametags. Someone's name is the most basic identity that should be acknowledged. So don't be surprised if one of our nametag greeters introduces themselves, and asks if you'd like a sticker nametag. The nametags are totally optional too. If you'd like one of our permanent nametags with a highrock lanyard, just go ahead and sign up. It'll be ready for you the next week!
Children's Ministry
Our children’s ministry, is offered during our 9:00AM and 10:45AM services for infants up to grade five. If you have children, ask a greeter and they’ll be happy to direct you where to go. Paging is also available for your peace of mind. If you have questions, please contact our Director of Children’s Programming, Soo Jin at or call the church number at 781.652.9859.
Tithes/Offering
Collecting Tithes and Offerings is a part of our worship service. We worship with singing, music, and fellowship, but we also worship with giving our tithe and offering. We tithe and give offerings to God as an act in which we say we trust in God alone, and not in the hopes and power of money. As a visitor, giving your tithe/offering is optional.
Connection Cards
Connection cards are a way for us to get to know you and learn how to connect you with the information and people you’re looking for. Please fill out a card and drop it in the offering basket as it passes, or at the rear of the sanctuary in a designated fancy glass jar. You can also bring your card to the Connection Gathering at the end of service and hand it to one of our staff.
SoulCafe/SoulFood
After the end of each service, we continue our worship through food! Every Sunday, we gather for SoulCafe and SoulFood, a time when we come together and share a meal, cooked in our very own kitchen. We call these times SoulCafe and SoulFood because we believe that eating together nourishes not only our bodies, but our whole being as we enjoy fellowship with one another. It is a great opportunity to make connections and meet new people…and it’s free!
Who to ask for help
Wondering where the bathrooms are? Or have a question about our church? Find someone wearing a bright yellow lanyard and he or she would be glad to help guide you or answer any questions you may have. Ushers, welcomers and staff all wear yellow lanyards so they're easy to find.
