FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Please feel free to email us if you have any additional questions: info@madisonheightschurch.com
How did Madison Heights get started?
In 2004, three churches located around metropolitan Jackson (Pear Orchard, Lakeland, and Highlands) came together with a desire to establish a new church. After careful consideration, it was determined that the Madison-Gluckstadt area would be a perfect location because of the tremendous population growth, economic outlook, and lack of established churches. In 2005, Hunter Brewer left his position as assistant minister at Lakeland in order to start Madison Heights. Understanding the importance of planting new churches, several families from Pear Orchard, Highlands, and Lakeland volunteered to be a part of this new work. On September10th, 2006 we had our first worship service at St. Joseph School. Since then, others have joined the initial core group. Currently, we have over 280 members (men, women, and children). Our vision is to build a church that will have a lasting impact for Christ.
Do you have an established children’s ministry?
The spiritual growth of our children is something that is very important to us. We have worked hard to establish a fun and meaningful and loving environment for our kids, which is faithful to God’s Word. Truly, it is one of the top priorities of Madison Heights. If you have any questions, please feel free to email our Children's Director at children@madisonheightschurch.com. Also, please click here to learn more about this ministry.
Is there a nursery?
Yes, we offer a nursery for infants up to four years of age. Please click here to go to the children's ministry page and learn more about the procedures and guidelines for the nursery.
Why do you meet in a school?
As you can imagine, it is a costly endeavor to buy land and construct a church. As a result, most new churches rent facilities to meet in until they can afford to build. We are fortunate and thankful that St. Joseph was willing to open their doors to us. Recently, we purchased 18 acres near Bozeman Road and Reunion Parkway. Please see the "Future Home" section of the website.
Is the music in your service traditional or contemporary?
Our desire in worship is to embrace the future without neglecting the past. On one hand, our tradition is rich and Biblical and should not be forgotten. On the other hand, we must carefully navigate the changing tides of culture. So, which is it? Well, perhaps it is a little of both.
Do you belong to a denomination?
We belong to the PCA, which is one of the fastest growing denominations in the country. Our denomination has a strong commitment to the Bible and the historic beliefs of the Christian faith. We are represented by many churches in the Jackson metropolitan area (Pear Orchard, Highlands, Redeemer, Lakeland, Trinity, etc). Please click here to learn more about our denomination.
