Congratulations to Chris Parker
We want to congratulate Chris Parker on his new position as pastor of Discipleship at Northeast Houston Baptist Church. This Sunday, September 8, will be Chris and Megan’s last Sunday with us. Be sure to congratulate Chris and thank Chris and Megan for their faithful ministry at High Pointe.
Chris joined us on January 3, 2022, as a pastoral assistant (PA). By design, PAs join our staff to do administrative support work for about two years to observe ministry at High Pointe before being deployed for ministry. We are thankful for Chris’s time at High Pointe and rejoice with him and Megan as he continues to pursue his desires for pastoral ministry. Pray for Chris and Megan as they transition to Houston in the next couple of weeks.

Life Classes
Life Classes are meant to equip High Pointe for life as a Christian. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and join us. Childcare is available for ages 8 months through Pre-K. This session, we are offering the following classes from August 25 to December 5:
- Growing in Prayer: This course will offer biblical wisdom and practical tools to help grow our prayer lives as individuals and as a church. We will learn from the biblical teaching on prayer and apply a simple framework beginning with Jesus’ teaching and the Lord’s Prayer. We'll explore different kinds of prayer in Psalms. From Paul's prayers, we'll re-focus our prayers. We'll gain confidence in praying the words of Scriptures. We'll also apply some strategies for when we don't feel like praying and how to pray when life just seems really hard and God seems distant.
- Discipling: Principles and Practice: This life class aims to simplify what it means to be and make disciples in a local church context. After understanding what discipling is and the role of the local church, this course will provide practical insights and next steps. Participants will be challenged to take prayerful steps to help others grow in Christ. As they do so, they will also find joy and grow spiritually.
- Student Ministry Life Class | Spiritual Disciplines: This course will only be for 6th-12th graders, and it will explore the topic of Spiritual Disciplines. The youth will grow in understanding what spiritual disciplines are, what role spiritual disciplines play in their lives, and how to practice spiritual disciplines. Please note: These classes will occur during the same time as the normal adult life classes and kids' life class. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mark Cambranis.
- Kids Life Class: This course will be for children K-5th grade, using The Gospel Project, a study that “helps kids dive deep into the big story of the Bible – God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ.â€
