Who We Are
The History of Highworth Community Church
Highworth Community Church is an independent church that began in 1981 as part of the Charismatic House Church movement. We’re a diverse church family, made up of people from many backgrounds and church traditions, alongside many who are new to faith. We value unity with the other churches in our town and seek a broad, healthy spirituality shaped and built by Jesus.
​
We’re a church family of all ages and abilities, who love to gather, grow and serve together. At all our gatherings we make space to encounter God and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit, as we worship, learn and encourage one another. Our heart is to be full of the life of God and to reach out in love to our community.
​
Being part of HCC isn’t a one-size-fits-all commitment — whatever your circumstances, there’s a place to belong, to connect and to grow.
​
Core Team
Our team of leaders is overseen by Matt and Kathryn Ford (Senior leaders) and championed by Jon and Lizzie Hares (Outreach and Operations lead).
​
They serve and love the HCC family alongside excellent Trustees, the Support Team, Vision Team and wider leaders.
​
We practice an Emergent leadership culture. Leaders aren't born they grow. We are less concerned about gifting and labels and more focused on heart and character.
​
We believe in Christ centred servant leadership. Leaders have their identity and authority rooted in their Saviour enabling them to go low and wash the feet of a broken world.​
