Contemporary but Uncompromised

There is little doubt that Higher Praise Church is contemporary in it's approach to reaching the Harvest. We have done our best to be relevant and real, however we have also done our best to not compromise the word of God.

It seems there is an increasing level of division in Christianity as many churches which are classified as contemporary typically attempt to be very politicially correct and unconfrontational on the subject of sin. On the other hand, churches that maintain an uncompromised Word are many times seemingly very resistant to any type of change in their style of ministry.

This much I know: God's character is the same yesterday, today, and forever; but His methods never cease to change.

My goal as the pastor of HPC has been to communicate the vision for a church environment where the atmosphere of everything we do is very simple, down-to-earth, real, relevant, uncompromised, and at the same time accomplished with excellence. The ultimate goal being to create a contemporary church that honors it's heritage and never fails to declare the uncompromised Truth in love. May God grant us the grace to see it through...
