Promise of Confidentiality
Your personal story is of highest value to us and to the Lord. We consider your story sacred and strive to create a safe and private environment. We want our guests to feel welcomed, accepted and appreciated.
As a culture of honor and respect, we do not judge or condemn our guests. Instead, we aim to love, esteem, and celebrate our guests in the manner Christ Jesus would.
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." - Romans 8:1 (NIV)
Our Mission:
To minister to Christians, especially those in public ministry, who are in crisis or at a crossroads, who desire added life coping skills.
Statement of Faith
We believe that the ultimate purpose in living is to know God, glorify Him and to attain eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, beginning within our own families and then reaching out to a suffering humanity that does not know of His love.
We believe we are called to be faithful members of His Church, regularly attending worship and submitted under the care and covering of pastors and elders. To us, the mission of the Church is to evangelize, teach and heal until He returns.
Therefore His High Places remains orthodox in all respects, that we might be a faithful part of His mission to prepare God’s children to live in fellowship with the Father for eternity.
The Holy Spirit has led His High Places to believe fully in the simple orthodoxy of the major creeds of the faith, the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, the Augustinian and Wesleyan Confessions. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God the Father, that He died on the cross for our redemption, was raised again, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He has given us His Holy Spirit and the gifts and fruit of the Spirit that we might serve Him and His Kingdom.
In response to the dual mandates of Malachi 4:5-6 and Matthew 17:11, we are called to be instruments of restoration, teaching, counseling and healing. We believe all teaching and healing is an expression of the love and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. Neither teaching nor healing is something we do on our own accord, but rather it is the work of the Holy Spirit. This is especially true in inner healing (the internal cleansing of our heart by the Holy Spirit).
Our goal is that the inner man and the outer man line up more as a result of our work here at His High Places. “Inner healing” is the application of the blood, cross, and resurrection life of our Lord Jesus Christ to deep wounds and practices in our hearts, setting us free to walk as God intended when He created us. These are applied by diagnosis and prayer, but prayer is the basis of all our ministry. Inner healing, spiritual direction, and application is all about sanctification and transformation.
Sanctification is the process in which the Holy Spirit brings us daily to more death of self on the cross and to newness of life in Him. Transformation is the process of sanctification in which the Holy Spirit transforms all our degradations to glory, our weaknesses to strengths, and our deserts to gardens of blessing.
We believe God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Therefore, we are not overly problem-focused, and do not try to change a guests’ life history. We allow the Holy Spirit to change history’s effects in our lives as we are changed into His likeness from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Our prayer is that the Church be better equipped (Ephesians 4:12) as His instrument for the sanctification & transformation of God’s children, & that the Church stand in unity of faith for His return.
