Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

That's not a harvest problem. That's a leadership gap, and it's exactly why Highlands College exists.

Every part of how we equip students, how we partner with Church of the Highlands, how we place graduates into ministry, is built around one thing: closing that gap.

If you know you're called, this is where you prepare. Fall 2027 applications open May 1. http://highlandscollege.edu/apply 👉

Sent to Lead 🎓🌎 Annelise Graves (Class of 2026) is stepping into her calling in Carlsbad, California, where she will serve as Kids Ministry Coordinator and Mission Support at Daybreak Church.

At Highlands College, Annelise gained hands-on ministry experience and learned from leaders who prepared her for the calling God placed on her life.

Stories like Annelise’s are a picture of what Highlands College is all about: raising leaders who are Called, Transformed, and Sent to Lead around the world.

A sneak peek of what's to come! 🏠

As the semester wrapped up, students across campus were invited to help shape the future of our third residence hall, set to open in January 2027. From cozy lounge spaces to study spots, they got to test out and hand-select the furniture that will fill it, making sure every space feels like home.

A special thank you to the Green family for their incredible generosity and investment in our students. Because of your support, our newest residence hall will be a place where meaningful friendships and lasting community are built.

We can't wait to welcome students through these doors in 2027!

Highlands College students are heading out on Cross-Cultural Ministry Trips this summer! 🌍 Swipe to see where they’re going. 👀

As a key part of their ministry training, 154 students and leaders will serve alongside local churches and global ministry partners in 11 countries this summer, including post-Christian regions and areas within the 10/40 Window.

These experiences allow students to put their training into practice as they step into new cultures, support long-term ministry, share the Gospel, and grow in their understanding of God’s heart for the nations, all while gaining firsthand experience in cross-cultural ministry.

We invite you to join us in praying for every student and leader as they go.

💬 Students, what are you most expectant for this summer?

The world needs leaders who are Called, Transformed, and Sent to Lead. This is why we do what we do. "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." (Luke 10:2) 🌎

"Our dream is not only that you'd come but that you'd be sent." — Chancellor Chris Hodges

They’re not just preparing for ministry someday; they’re living it out right now. ⛪

Every week, students get the opportunity to lead, serve, and be part of what God is doing through the local church. From worship and production to kids ministry and hospitality, they’re not just learning about ministry in the classroom, they’re actively putting it into practice and strengthening the church.

Here's what some of our students love about their Church of the Highlands campus.
