About

HIGHLAND HILL COMMUNITY CHURCH

We are Highland Hill Community Church, a conservative, traditional Baptist church in Tacoma, Washington. Our roots go back to 1954 when we began as a Southern Baptist mission and officially organized later that year with 27 charter members. From meeting in a rented home to relocating buildings from Fort Lewis, we’ve seen God’s faithfulness through the years and we look forward and pray for many more.

Our Pastor - Matthew Poole

Pastor Matt is the husband to Sarah and a father of six children, including four on Earth (Chavaleh, Jeremiah, Micah, and Samuel) and two in Heaven. He has over 16 years of ministry experience, primarily in youth and associate roles. Driven by a passion to see every generation deeply love the Lord and live out their faith boldly, Matt holds a degree from Maranatha Baptist University and is currently pursuing further studies. His mission is to preach God’s Word, nurture spiritual growth through prayer and discipleship, and build a Christ-centered community. An avid “dark” roast, plain coffee drinker, he would love to drink coffee together and get to know your story.

Statement of Faith

 

Highland Hill’s statement of faith is the Baptist Faith and Message of 2000.  Please feel free to ask any questions! https://bfm.sbc.net/bfm2000/

We are a church that remains unapologetically committed to the plain, grammatical, and historical reading of the Holy Bible.

We believe that while Scripture was written in a different time, it is still fully relevant and authoritative for our time.

We strive to live in accordance with the Bible’s teaching in every area of life.

We believe that Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, will physically return again.

We are a conservative church in many areas, but also a community of grace, love, and growth, seeking to walk faithfully with God together.
