Our Ministries
Church is more than just Sunday mornings. Its about life together. We have several opportunities to get together and have a good time.
Pastor Wes 
Welcome to Highest Praise! Christina and I are so glad that you dropped by. God called me into ministry at a young age in a powerful prayer experience with my dad. I believe that God wants to restore families and bring wholeness to our communities. I graduated from Lee University in 2011, where I met my lovely wife, Christina. I studied pastoral ministry and Spanish. In 2017, we were invited to serve as lead pastors of Highest Praise. We have four wonderful children, named Anna, Sam, Judah and Benjamin. I love reading biographies and history. When I am not at the church, you can find me running the trails or working in the garden with my family. I look forward to meeting you!
Core Leaders
Church is more than a place to gather on Sunday mornings. It is a family that grows in Christ and blesses others. God has given you gifts to serve your community.

Love: Experience the Pudding
18
Dec '17
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
~ 1 John 4:9
I love pudding, especially banana pudding (although chocolate comes in as a close second). Who doesn’t love pudding? Maybe its the weird word or the way it makes your face look when saying it. Or that awkward moment when someone calls you pudding when your twelve and you think you’re grownup. How many of you have ever sang that Christmas song “We wish you a merry Christmas” and got to the line about bring us some figgy pudding and asked “what is that about”? I did some digging and realized that it is a a variation of a sixteenth century English tradition. While I won’t get into all the details of a weird figgy pudding. I got to thinking about the old saying “The proof is in the eating of the pudding”. This phrase means essentially that until you’ve tasted or experienced the pudding you don’t know how good it is, or what’s in it for that matter. To make a long story short. This got me to thinking about love.

Borrowed Hope

Dec '17
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
~Romans 15:13
Excuse me, I seem to have lost my hope. May I borrow yours? I’ve been asked for a lot things over the years, even the proverbial cup of sugar. I never recall being asked for a cup of hope. Or perhaps they were asking the question another way and I just didn’t realize it? The reality is hope seems in short supply these days. In recent months, our nation has been inundated and rocked with news of international and political division as well as racial and sexual misconduct. Dialogue has reverted to 140 character jabs at one another. Yet, we do not need to be hopeless. A great light is shining among us.

A Question of Opportunity

Nov '17
David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
~ 2 Samuel 9:1
Have you ever read a familiar passage and suddenly had new insight? The passage may be simple, but then God begins to show how incredible it is. That is what happened to me this week as I read this question. At first glance, David’s question seems so simple to understand. In fact, it is simple. However this question reveals many important ideas. It is just full of meaning. I want to point out two revelations that have stuck with me this week from David’s question of opportunity. David intentionally sought out opportunities to demonstrate his love for others in concrete, tangible ways. Let’s break this thought down.
