Children's Pastor

Job Description

About the Church

The Heights Church is a non-denominational, life-giving church that launched in January 2017 in Bolivar, Missouri. In its early days, the church operated as a mobile ministry, faithfully setting up and gathering in the local high school for the first 20 months. In September 2018, The Heights Church purchased its current facility, establishing a permanent home for its growing community.

Today, weekly attendance averages between 450 and 500 people, and the church is currently undergoing a significant building renovation to expand its capacity and better serve the surrounding community. By God’s grace, The Heights Church has made meaningful progress in its mission to help individuals reach their full potential in Christ—celebrating decisions for salvation, baptisms, and changed lives.
